Jetsetting To Seattle For The Weekend

Hellooo!

This weekend I most likely will not be blogging for I will be in Seattle, Washington with my cousins that of whom I love so much, Isaac, Katie, and Calie.

This is what happened to me last time I was in Seattle.  Let's see what happens this time...

Love,

An Awesome Weekend With Mom

My Mom flew out this weekend to hang out with her son that she loves oh-so-much.  To summarize: Food.  We did a lot of eating!  Pei Wei, California Pizza Kitchen, and more.

And we went to a basketball game!  BYU vs. Utah.  Cougars won (as expected). :)  Ra-Ra-Ra-Ra-Ra Gooooo Cougars!

And there was a lot of laughing.  "Are we already at the end?...Wow, that was quick."  And Mom, Jesus did not have a daughter (not that we know of anyways).

Oh, and we went to BYU to see Carl Bloch's display in the Museum of Art.

I was talking to a friend the other day about how moms are just the best.  It's like...The world is okay when mom is around.  My Mom definitely makes my world feel safe when she's around.  It's like all my worries and concerns go away because, "It's okay, Mom's here."

I cherish and love every moment I get to spend with my Mother.  She's the best!  Thank you Mom for coming out to see me.

I love you!

Love,
Sean

Sea Turtle

At church this past week...I learned a fun mnemonic device.

If you ever have trouble remembering the 3 Kingdoms of Glory (Celestial, Terrestrial, and Telestial).  Just think:

SEA TURTLE.

SEA = "C" = Celestial

TUR = "TER" = Terrestrial

TLE = "TEL" = Telestial

...I loved this!  Turtles are my favorite animal.

Hope it helps.

Love,

FAT Meeting: Pounding On The Pulpit

This past Sunday was Fast And Testimony Meeting at church.  And I felt prompted to get up and bear my testimony.

When I got to the pulpit, I said, "My non member friend is sitting next to me, and keeps nudging me to get up...So I kind of felt like I needed to come up!"  As I was saying this, I was like, pounding on the pulpit.  I have NO idea why...I think I was just really excited or something.

In any case, I always love listening to others' testimonies, because it helps to strengthen mine.  But, I also value the opportunity to get up and bear my testimony to share with others the things I know to be true.

So, I went out and bought a new camera cord, since mine is still MIA (watch it show up tomorrow...).

Here are pictures from my Manti trip with Warren and Mark.

Thursday Night Temple Square

Thursday night after doing a Happy Chinese New Year dinner with my Uncle Jerry, Aunt Angie, and cousins Tim (and family) and Matt, I felt like I stop by Temple Square in SLC.  I don't really know why I felt like I needed to go, but I did.  I walked into the Visitor's Center and started talking to one of the Sister Missionaries.  We talked for 40 minutes.  Our conversation started like, "Creative Recreations!  Nice!  I love your shoes."  Turned into, "Where are you from?"  "New Jersey."  "Would you happen to know a Julia D?"  "What!?  Yes!  I'm good friends with her!"  It's amazing what a small world it is.  I won't go into too much detail about our discussion, but she complimented me on my family and how it sounds like I come from a very strong and stable family.  And she's right...I am very lucky to have the incredible family that I do.  I really needed to hear that.  You never know who you might bump into at Temple Square.

Love,
Sean
