Hello from Rexburg!

At the beginning of the semester a bunch of friends and I went to the sand dunes to sled, here is a picture of the train we made. I tried to tell them ladies first but they wouldn't listen...
The sand dunes are an amazing place to sled! They have these huge slopes and if you run first you can get enough speed to go up the other side of the dune.





Here is a great picture of my friends Stacey and Harmony. Stacey is the one trying to catch the snowflakes in her mouth ; )







This is a picture of my roommates (from left to right) David Jenkins, Tanner Dietrich, Zack Rios, and Aaron Camacho. They are all great guys and we have already had a great time this semester. I think there is a really strong bond between all of us, Tanner even gets tucked in at night! I have to say they are the cleanest roommates I have ever had too. David Jenkins and I grew up playing basketball together, Aaron and Tanner grew up together too, and Zack is from Montana. We love him though.



Here is a quick video of some sledding we did on campus. Its me on an inner-tube.






And of course here are some pictures of the newly dedicated temple that is just up the street from my apartment. It is a beautiful thing to have a temple so close. Having the privilege of looking up each day to it is a very inspiring and peaceful thing. It stands on a hill and you can see it from almost anywhere, especially at night. I took the first of the two, the bottom one is a picture that is just floating around Rexburg.

Heber J Grant: Life Skills Course


This is the group I teach the Heber J Grant class with.
From left to to right its Cathryn, Brittany, Carlos, Heather, Kathrine, and Tanner. Brother Gilbert and his wife are in the back with me. Every Tuesday two of the six instructors teach a large group of about 60 people, then Thursday we break into smaller groups of 20 and I teach with Heather. The class has been great so far, we have taught about financial management, goal setting, peer to peer teaching, and things that go along with those topics.
