Elder Holland



ive decided that i need to be better about not allowing so much time to pass in betweeen my blog posts...so here goes for some updates. Since new york things have been going well...busy, but really well. i cant really update on school since i kind of havent been for a week or so, but as far as i know, everything is going well...at least i hope so...ill let you know after i triumphantly return to classes tomorrow. as for work, things have been about the same. we however find ourselves a bit more busy as of late since one of our inspectors has taken a short leave of absence due to his national guard duties. as result, each of us has to pitch in in order to pick up his inspection load...luckily its the end of summer and construction has slowed...a little. -- last night was pretty cool, elder holland put on a fireside at the "U" insitite that i was able to attend with heidi. ive always really enjoyed hearing elder holland speak so i was pretty excited to go. he speaks with such passion and strength that ive kind of always seen him as the mormon version of a deep south bible baptist preacher. he spoke a lot about missionary work and also the importance of continual personal growth and progression. he also gave an apostalic blessing to the congregation at the end of his talk, which was a really good experience...well its 6:04 and i only have to work till six so im outa here. talk to you later

There is something monumental when we are lucky to have an apostalic blessing. Elder Bednar also gave one at our Stake conference. It affected me in such a way...I'll never forget it. Remember when Pres. Hinckley prayed for us at General Conference? Special moments. Good luck with school this week!
