Las cosas que puedes aprender..

Me di cuente que el tiempo no espera para nada. Tu sabes que el tiempo se va rapido y no puedes pararlo. Recuerdo un cuento, que tuve con un amigo mio en las montanas de Montana hace algunas anos Estabamos caminando en una trocha el en desierto hacia un lago que se queda en cima de un montana grandisimo. Cuando vimos un becerro que apenas se nacio. Dije a mi amigo...Que chido que la vaca dio la luz enfrente de nosotros. No tiene miedo para nada jaja!! Pero continuamos nuesto viaje al lago. Alcanzamos el lago y empezamos a pescar. Yo prepare mi cana de pescar y catche como dos pescados. Los comi y empezamos nuestro viaje a la casa. Vi que el mismo becerro que yo habia visto estaba caminando y chupando la bolsa de su madre. Estaba en pie!! Me puso pensar..ijole..Apenas se nacio y ahorita esta en pie! Mi amigo me dijo...Tu sabes que tu vida sera como este becerro. Le dije..vamos a ver! Pero si el podia estar conmigo ahorita..yo le diria.."Amigo..recuerdas cuando me dijiste que mi vida seria como el becerro que habiamos visto..Me di cuenta que es la verdad." A pensar que somos becerros no es bueno. Pero de la verdad..Nuestro vida va a caer demasiado rapido. He apredido muchas cosas..Uno de las cosas mas importante es la frase.."fijar metas"...Fijate..y checate..crezcate

A Christmas Story....

Christmas is my favorite time of year!! It is hard to beat being with the family and playing games together and just flat out enjoying each other. I remember two Christmases ago, It was so cold!! My little brother Taylor and I had to go out to feed the cows that were out on the desert. My older brother Roscoe was already out there cause he lived out there. It was pretty funny though cause I remember playing games on Christmas Eve and we were laughing and having a good time. I think mainly cause we were out of the bitter cold and we were warm. We could hear the wind outside beating on the windows and the drifts of snow just  getting bigger and bigger. But we continued to drink our Pepsi and talk with one another. Our night ended and we decided that we had better get to bed cause we had to get up in the morning to feed the cows. My little bother and I stayed up super late. We talked ourselves to sleep. But morning came and my dad walked downstairs  and he goes…”Hey we better get going, we are burning daylight!” So I took a drink of my left over pepsi from the night before and put on the “warm gear” We walked outside and it had snowed all night long. It was so windy you couldn’t even see ten feet infront of you. I was thinking to myself…”This is going to be interesting.” So I went to my truck to start it up. I had to dig out a big drift of snow first before I could open the door. But I finally got it and we were ready to go. I got out of my driveway and I was stuck. I didn’t even make it one hundred feet. So Taylor and I decided to go get the snowmobiles and we were going to drive them out there. SO that is what we decided. We went out and got on them and headed out to the desert, (which was about ten miles away). We went out there and we got the cows fed. There was so much stinkin snow out on the desert. And the wind was just howling. My brothers and I were just laughing and we were having a good time together. It was so much fun. I remember my pants were just frozen!! But we indeed got the cows fed. We then had one more “Chore” we had to do. My little brother Taylor was going to drive the 7200 John Deere out to a place called Springfield. Cause we had been using a truck and trailer to feed the steers out there but this time the snow was just too deep. So my little brother started to drive the tractor all thirty miles to sterling. It was twenty miles per hour slow but he did it. Once we got close to home we stopped and went home to eat Christmas Dinner with the family. We did that for about two hours but then headed back out to work. We got out to Springfield and everything had been done for the day. We were done. It was also seven thirty at night!!! That was two years ago. This Christmas is a little bit different for me. I am in Philadelphia as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ. My Christmas wont consist of feeding cows and freezing my tail off.  Even though I am away from my family…this is the best Christmas so far in my life. I know what Christmas is all about. I know the true meaning of Christmas. It is about Jesus Christ. How he lived for us and how he died for us. I love this time of year. It is my favorite!!
