Alright, I think it's about time for another post, as I've been neglecting my blog for basically the entire summer. Updates: I've begun my mission papers and I'm working on those; hopefully I'll get them in by the end of September. That's NEXT MONTH. It hardly seems real that after years of anticipating this, I'm taking tangible steps toward my mission. In only a few short months, I could be half way around the world, or just a few hours away. I don't know yet where I'm going, but you can bet on it that I'll post here when I know :)
In other news, EFY and camp and such are finally done. I loved working with the youth of the Church this summer. They are amazing people, and I learned so much from them. I made amazing friends in counselors with whom I worked, and I'm glad to say that I still talk to many of them :) I feel like I just got home for the summer last week, and many people are leaving in the next week or two for school. Fortunately, Melanie is home for the fall as well, and I've got some good friends in the singles ward that I can spend time with during the fall. But before my thoughts get too far ahead of me...let me post some pictures from EFY.
Night of Darkness- SVU week 1
Envieth Not- SVU week 2
Feast Upon- SVU week 3, plus the Dixons (session directors that week)
SVU team! Plus the Dixons
That Awful Crisis- NH week 1 (minus the counselors...)
counselors for That Awful Crisis- Ryan, me, Travis
They Did Cry- NH week 2
That's a summation of the great people I got to work with and meet and love. It was a fantastic summer as far as EFY is concerned. It has just been a fantastic summer overall!!!
So lately...I went sailing this weekend with Mel and Brian and Corliss and Jeff. It was great- we were in an 18-foot catamaran with a 30-foot mast, sailing out in the Atlantic Ocean. We're hardcore. :) You don't even know! Haha. It's been good.
But I need to get back to other important things. Like catching up in my journal. And doing random projects around the house that I've begun but not finished yet. I've got a list a mile long of things I need to do before I leave for the mish, and I've already got two things crossed off...sweet! A couple more should be crossed off hopefully by the end of August/beginning of September. And besides that one, I have like 3 more to-do lists. Oh, I have to go make a doctors appointment...okay, I'm really going now. I'll be back a lot more frequently than I have been. Axel is coming this week, so we'll hopefully have some fun adventures!!! :)
