Absense

Well, I know I have blogged for a bit. But I hope all is well in ya'lls lives. As some of you may or may not have heard. There are two BYU students that went Hiking down near Escalante last Wednesday, they were supposed to be back Friday Afternoon. By Satruday afternoon, one of the men's wife called search and rescue. Which has been looking for the past three days.

The one whose wife called search and rescue was married six months ago, The other, is my cousin. He is a 25 year old student here at the Y. Both served missions and were looking to graduate here in the near future. Both were experienced hikers, rock climbers and campers. They are thought to be somewhere near the neon canyon area. Probably doing what is called the Golden Cathedral as they both bought wet suits for the occassion.

7 other hikers were found today they all had suffered from the cold and several had frost bite. With the storm moving in temperatures will be dropping down even lower. They have narrowed the search down to a slot canyon about a mile and a half long. The bottom is about 300 feet below ground level. And can be as narrow as 13 inches in places.

John is the kind of kid that everyone wants to be around, you can hear and recquonize his laugh from across the crowded Terrace if you know what to listen for. He is an all around great guy, funny and just plain good. If you could please pray for him that he might stay warm, have the nourishmen that he needs and that above all he can be found soon. Please pray for the search and rescue crew as well as they will be going into very dangerous places searching for the two. Thanks, have a great night.

Summer Plans

>> Monday, April 04, 2005

So, life has been hectic for a bit now...and I've finally decided what I'm going to do this summer. You see, I'm going to be in Michigan. Yup, Michigan. And, because of that move, I also got a cell phone. So, those are two great things that have happened to me in the last little bit. I didn't think I'd like having a cell phone, but now that I can text my good buddies at school. Life has gotten much more interesting. People can actually get ahold of me and people have actually tried. It's amazing!

So, I like my little black and gray box. It is comefortable. I like my new job. I like life as it is. Even if I have tons of homework and I need to turn in my two weeks notice and find an appartment for next year, I just bought a car. So that is another good thing. Oie, this is such a strange congolmoration of info. I don't really have a coherent thought right now, I'm mostly just trying to do everything so that I can actually survive. Life is rushing by far too quickly with too many decisions that require thought and not enough time to think about. But everything seems to be falling into place and feeling right. I guess I don't need to be in control, I just need to be moving. That reminds me of a quote a lady said in conference once and if I was lazy enough I'd find the reference but...she was talking about her pioneer ancestors and said she had a great something pa, who converted to the church with his wife and came from England to America. His wife and sons died on the plains. He stopped writing in his journal for a bit, and when he came back to it he said, "Still moving." I think that's about it.
