So they have this new thing on the church's web site.
You can fill out basic information about yourself to use it as a tool for missionary work.
Their hope is that people around the world can find someone in the church they can relate to who understands their view of life. Then, if they are interested, we can share the gospel with them. I'm not very good at sharing the gospel with others sometimes. (I have wonderful grandparents that I have never dared say anything to because I'm too worried that I might offend them.). . . so hopefully this can help me get more in a missionary mood so I can share what is most near and dear to me rather than hoarding it for myself. :)
So this will take a few blogs to cover. So I can't do it all today.
Today I uploaded a picture of myself and wrote a short description about me.
Here's what I wrote. There are other sections that I'll work on in day's to come:
I grew up in Utah County.
I was involved with scouting a lot as a youth.
I traveled to Russia during a summer while in high school to attend the First International Russion Jamboree.
I served as the senior patrol leader for the group from Utah on that trip.
I enjoy travelling and hope to travel to more places around the world.
I served a mission for the church for two years in the Pennsylvania, Philadelphia mission. I served as a Spanish speaking missionary.
I still get to use my Spanish every now and then. . . but it is pretty rusty.
I would love to learn more languages, especially ancient Hebrew, Russian and Chineese.
I worked at a family business all growing up.
It is a skating rink, for the most part.
I enjoyed working there. . . and now that the economy is not going so great, my wife and I have picked up a shift on the weekend to earn a little extra cash and spend some time away from the kids.
My wife and I have been married for just over 10 years and we have three boys and a girl who keep us very busy.
Like a lot of architects, I work a lot. I do anything from programming to construction administration. The last project I worked on was three years long, starting with a study of the building, design, construction documents and finally the construction administration. There are many times that I work late after helping my wife put the kids to bed. I always manage to eat dinner with my family when I'm in town and we enjoy reading scriptures together as a family and singing songs from the hymn book and childrens' songbook before tucking them in bed.
My favorite places are:
1. Wherever my wife is.
2. Northern California in the foothills between Tahoe and Sacramento.
3. The Temple
4. The mountains of Utah
5. Lake Powell
Big cities are fun. I love to see the cool architecture that you can find there. But I always enjoy coming home to the slower pace where I can enjoy time with my growing family.
