Moroni 7: 33-34

"And Christ hath said: If ye will have faith in me ye shall have power to do whatsoever thing is expedient in me.
And he hath said repent all ye ends of the earth, and come unto me and be baptized in my name and have faith in me, that ye may be saved."

Elder and Sister Swenson chose this scripture to put on their mission plaque.

"I Hope They Call Me On A Mission"

This is ma and pa's mission profile picture which will be viewed by church leadership... Exciting!

Sunny November Riding

So after dad and I went riding on Thursday, we had so much fun we decided to go again on Saturday with Steve. This time we went up Spanish Fork Canyon to Red Hollow. That's Mtn. Nebo, Mtn. Loafer, and the Front Mtn. in the background. It was fun!

"It's Cold Out There"

I took some time off today, so Dad and I went horse riding. We went up to Shanty Flats where we normally camp throughout the summer. It was cold and the canyon looked different but we had fun! I am glad we went up Payson Canyon because as Dad and I were discussing, it's probably the last time Dad goes up Payson Canyon until after the mission. It will be a good memory for both of us.

Jazz Game

Steve and I were fortunate enough to have 1st row Jazz tickets. It was a blast, we were right in the action!

Conspiracy

So mom informed me that my innocent looking nephew Mason won Korver's baby pool. He guessed 6 lb 10 oz and Korver weighed 6 lb 11 oz. Well I don't think Mason is as innocent as he appears. Think about it... Mason and Korver were best buds in heaven and now on earth. I can see it now... "Hey Korv," "Yeah, what do ya want Mase Dog?" "I'm headed out the door now to go to earth. Let's make a deal, when you come down in five months, come out weighing 6 lb 11oz, that way I can win your baby pool." "Oh yeah Mase Dog, we can share the candy bar." ... Am I the only one who can see this conspiracy? Don't let these little guys fool you.

Boys Camp '08

Another boys camp has come and gone. The numbers were slim at times but most everyone was able to come at one point or another. We were worried about the weather but luckly we didn't get snowed in. I always look forward to boys camp and this year was another great memory.

The Oldest and The Youngest

For now anyway.

Matt and Korver

Scary Golf Balls!

I had a very dramatic experience today. While purchasing golf balls from Carrie's niece Kinley, I thought it was appropriate and nice to pay $20 dollars to Carrie rather than the agreed $12 dollars. Upon moving to the door to exit, Carrie viscously assaulted me by throwing me into the wall. With no regard to human life she put her hands on my throat and said, “If you don’t take the $8 dollars change I will !@#$%&* your face.” Fearing for my life I pulled an even $12 dollars from my wallet and scrambled out the door. As I sped down the road lucky to be alive, I realized not only had I paid $32 dollars for the balls but my wallet was gone… Anyways, I just wanted to give warning to all the family, when dealing with Carrie, always have exact change.

Lucky 24... 25 on the way
