So, life has been crazy lately. If you ever decide to go on a mission, make sure all Health problems are completely cleared up before hand, otherwise it could create a huge mess. The MTC, it was awesome, although I would not recommend the food to my worst enemy(most missionaries could say the same). I visited the doctor while at the MTC and was told that I am not use to eating such good quality food, I dont know what he calls good quality but the hidden restaurant upstairs (oops. you dont know about this) is only for the teachers and staff at the MTC. I have managed to go through a number of cell phones again since I have been back, I still have no desire to have anything to do with Verizon, they rip you off so badly and their coverage, (which is why they say that they are worth the extra money)is nothing to brag about. I did however like having the unlimited TV package during my "Test Drive" with Verizon. To give an idea of how expensive they are, I had them for a total of 7 days, for that 7 days, I owe $150. The services that I had to add up to that: bottom off the line minutes at 450, (there were nice enough to include unlimited nights and weekends though), and unlimited messaging. I do acknowledge that there is a $35 activation fee but all three of those combined, should not add up to more the $90, they charged me $60 more then their closest competitor. I switched back to T-mobile today, I was able to get under a plan WITHOUT a contract, 600 minutes, unlimited texts, unlimited: nights/weekends/mobile to mobile all for a total of $55/month and has no activation fee. Not to mention that I have never dropped a call with t-mobile and when I am told that I will have service in a specific area, guess what?, I have service there and full service. If there is any doubt that I will not have service there, T-mobile has the courtesy of letting me know this and they don't just cover the entire map of the USA with red claiming that they have great coverage, or coverage at all for that matter, everywhere from coast to coast. Now, one might say, but Verizon has been adding all of these new towers and other radio frequencies, although that is true, they currently have no phones that support these towers and have no near future plans (next 5 years) of implementing any phones that will work on these.
Okay, I think that I am done talking about Verizon now! So, my good friends Grandma died yesterday. Sad day! She was an awesome Grandma and although I did not know her for long, I have much good that can be said about her. I hope that the family that was left behind is doing alright and does and will find joy and happiness again that this Daughter of our Heavenly Father will be seen again and that our afflictions are but only a small moment.
College, I have decided that I am going to be going to Snow college, I realy LOVE the programs that they have to offer, the prices are in my reach, and not to mention that everything is more hands on and I will be able to learn and be taught and not just be lectured before a test. I don't know for sure when Ill be starting there though, it feels like the right school, but now doesn't feel quite the right time. Snow has the privilege and opportunity to be the only school in the world that has connections with Julliard (school of Music) and have private tutors come from Julliard on occasion. Snow College is in Ephraim, Utah, small town just north of Manti. There is NOTHING to do there, which may and will be hard for me, but at the same, time, I will be able to focus on my schooling with out al of the many distractions that are often present.
It is hard being home now. I often wake up in the mornings and find myself thinking about what I would be doing right then if the Doctors had allowed me to go on to the field. I could so easily be bringing my brothers and sisters the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, and live, breathe and eat it everyday all day. I cant wait to get back out there. I found a job that I am going to apply to become a 911 operator, I think it would be a great job and I would have so much fun taking part in saving peoples lives monday through friday 8-5. This time that I have not much going for me has been of great help, there has been so much time to read ponder and pray about things of this gospel and just simply draw nearer unto my Heavenly Father. I cant think of what else to say right now, so give it a few more hours, ill be back.
