Mission Call

So today my brother Ethan received his call as

a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of

Latter-day Saints. He will be serving in . . .

Yup! That's right - Zimbabwe! He
reports to the MTC in South Africa on
Dec 23 and will be speaking English.
It will be such a great experience and
he will be a great missionary! I am so
thrilled!

New Challenge

This year has been one of the most challenging and rewarding
so far. The accounting jr. core is the equivalent of baptism by
fire. They throw you in and put you in a group with four other
people and set you to work. It is a different learning environment,
but it works and is effective. I have some of the most supportive,
inspiring faculty which is absolutely amazing. I have never had
this much of a challenge in my classes, but I am stretching and
growing so I guess it will be worth it.

That takes up most of my time, but other than that life is
pretty good. My roommates are sweethearts. Many times
I come home to dinner they have saved me which is so
nice after 8 hours of accounting. I have no actual roommate
which is delightful! I can keep my own schedule and do
what I like. We'll see how long it lasts though.

BYU Football is a confusing, frustrating thing. Opened
ok, embarassed at Air Force, Florida State won't be good
and then we'll just have to see. If we can break .500 I will
be thrilled. Life is good though and the church is true which
is such a blessing.
