Catching Up

Well...I guess I wan't lying when I said that I procrastinate lol. It's been a while since my last post. That doesn't mean I had nothing to say, just that I "didn't have time". My wife found a quote the other day that says "When you say you don't have time, you're really saying that it wasn't a priority". I see this quote getting me in a lot of trouble.

4th of July Talk
Yesterday my wife and I got a call from our Bishop. I instantly thought, "Another calling?!" I already have two! It turns out that he wants Karen and I to give a 5-10 minute talk on what Independence Day means to us since we served in the Navy. This shouldn't be too difficult...I hope. We are giving this talk on the 4th at our Annual Flag Raising and Pancake Breakfast. I can't wait to eat....I mean talk.

Roku and BYUtv
Over the weekend Karen and I decided to buy a Roku streaming media player. We have a Wii that we have been using to stream Netflix and Hulu. That's all we used it for though. So we though, why not get a Roku so that we can still have Netflix and Hulu, and a ton of other channels to choose from. One of the biggest selling points for me though was the ability to get BYUtv on the Roku along with Mormon Channel. For a mormon who doesn't have cable, having BYUtv in the home now is a huge blessing! We finally have a way to watch General Conference in our home, not to mention all of the other shows.

I recently got into a show called "The District". For those of you who don't know, it's a documentary that follows the lives of 8 LDS Elder and Sister Missionaries while they are serving in the San Diego, California mission field. It documents some of the highs and lows of their missions. I was surprised to find that it doesn't just show the success stories of people getting baptized, but it also shows the rejections that the missionaries face while spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ. This show has given me a greater understanding and appreciation for the work that missionaries do. Click on the link below to check it out.
