My brother Nathan is the coolest! He is on a mission in Louisiana and is doing great. Here he is with his Disney Princess comforter. The thing I love about Nathan is that he does what he likes even when everyone else thinks it's weird.
Anyway, it was so great to talk to him on Christmas. He has a bit of a southern accent, which is kinda fun. He is so enthusiastic about the work...I love it! Way to go Nathan.I have been sick all week long. And I'm sick of being sick. And because I got sick, I'm not going to make it to 400 miles. I'm so sad! I was so close. Well, at least I tried. Speaking of goals, I think it's time for my New Year's Resolution check-in. My 2007 resolutions were:
1. Run a 1/2 marathon. check
2. Learn to swim. check
3. Take guitar lessons. Can my tennis lessons count instead?
4. Get up on time in the morning to actually have a decent amount of time to study my scriptures. check (well, on most days I did this)
5. Throw more parties. I did have some good parties this year.
6. Find a way to consistently use my Spanish. still need to work on this one...any suggestions?
7. Apply for graduate school. I applied. Twice.
8. Give away a Book of Mormon. check
I think I did a pretty good job of meeting most of my 2007 resolutions. I will post my resolutions for 2008 soon. Oh, and I am having a New Year's Eve party...you all are invited. We're having fondue...it'll be great!

So, is there a story behind the disney princess comforter? Just curious. Your brother seems really cool and way to go on meeting your resolutions! I don't even remember what mine were.
There's not really a story...he just likes Disney princesses, and he bought himself a Disney princess comforter for his mission. We thought it was hilarious!
For your Spanish...how about tutoring? I know in most of the school districts in that area, there are plenty of kids just learning English. You could maybe volunteer to be a tutor and help a kid learn English along the way. Of course then you probably aren't using Spanish as much as you would like, since they are trying to learn English, but I think it would be similar to the Study Buddy program at BYU with the English Language Center.
