Just submitted my mission papers online

I just submitted my mission papers online! I put December 21st as my availability date to go on my mission. It might not be on that exact date though, but I would like to leave before Christmas.

After submitting the papers online, the website took me to a "What to Do after Your Recommend Is Complete" page.
It told me basic stuff that I need to do in order to prepare for my mission. It also said that I will need to meet with the Bishop and the Stake President to review my recommendation form.

The very last thing that the site said was this:

At Church headquarters, your recommendation form will be reviewed by the Quorum of the Twelve, who will assign you to a mission. Thereafter a call letter from the President of the Church, accompanied by a call packet with information about what you will need to do to prepare to begin your mission, will be sent to the address you specified in your recommendation form.

 
It's neat, thinking that the Quorum of the Twelve in Salt Lake will actually be reviewing me. I just cant wait to get that letter from Thomas S. Monson, telling me where I'll be serving for the next two years =]

Starting School Tomorrow...

Tomorrow I start my first classes as a college student. I'm only taking two basic classes, ENC 1101 and MAT 1033. Don't really have time or money for anything else.
I havent bought any books yet, because they're all sold out at the bookstore, and I'm still not even sure what I need. I'm going to rent my books from Chegg after I find out what I really need.
It'll also be my first time waking up pretty early. My English class starts at 7:30, then I get out at 8:45. THEN I have work that starts at 10. I wonder what I'll do between school and work... probably hang out at the library. Tuesday I start my math class, which is 8-9:15. I'm really not looking forward to math, because I've already had this teacher in high school. She kinda speaks like an old withered elephant, and she shows no mercy. I'll just have to kill her with kindness.
Hopefully I'll do really well in these classes. I'm trying to boost my GPA before I leave for my mission in December. I want to boost it so I'll have a better chance at getting accepted to BYU after I return.
Well, wish me luck! I'll most likely need it.

Why temple marriage is so important:

I'm at institute, and the subject is on Temple marriage. Here's the scripture that we're reading:

DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS 131

IN the celestial glory there are three heavens or degrees;

2 And in order to obtain the highest, a man must enter into this order of the priesthood [meaning the new and everlasting covenant of marriage];

3 And if he does not, he cannot obtain it.

4 He may enter into the other, but that is the end of his kingdom; he cannot have an increase.

A Father Indeed

I know Father's Day was a few days ago, but I just watched the Church's YouTube video on Fathers. I think the world has twisted the view of what being a father really means, and this video reminded me of how important and special being a father is. I'm currently only 18 years old, but this is the type of father that I would like to be one day.

I invite you to watch this, if you already haven't done so.

Fatherhood is something that's very special. I think about it all the time, about the responsibility of being a father to my children; they look up to me. It's an honor to be a father. It's a special opportunity that our Heavenly Father has given you the responsibility over these spirits that He sent down into your home. To watch over them, to nurture them, to give them blessings. Blessings are a very important thing that families need to have. I think a lot of families don't realize the importance of a father's blessing. I am very thankful that I am a father, that I have the opportunity of providing for my family.

I'm graduating!!

Guess what? I'm graduating this Saturday!! I've been done with classes since last week, but I don't officially graduate till Saturday morning.

I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I want it to be over with, but yet I'm realizing that... I'm done with school. Or at least until college.

I remember at the beginning of this year I kept on saying that I don't feel like a senior yet. I still really don't. Senior. That's me. Graduate. That'll be me also.

Around the time that I get my diploma, and as I'm wearing my cap and gown, then I might start to feel like I'm a senior.

I'm also graduating from Seminary on the same day! It's later in the day though. I'll be graduating twice!!

It's going to be a big day for me and my family. I can't wait!

Screenshot with TWO monitors

Just finishing some photoshop stuff. I hooked up my 22" monitor to my laptop, and it makes so much easier to work with.

And I've always wondered what would happen if you took a screenshot with two monitors attached.... now I know.
