O Come, O Come Emmanuel

I love y'all! Christmas is coming and I can hardly wait. It'll be beautiful.

I'm helping decorate for a Holiday Spirit Week with Student Council. It is going to be amazing. We're planning to sell hot chocolate, decorate the halls and have spirit days. Monday: T'was the Night Before Christmas (Pajama Day) and etc.

My classes have been hectic, but I love my teachers. They have some of the greatest personalities! Mr. Caldwell sings and dances. A week or two ago I noticed he was wearing corduroy pants and I could not resist telling him the joke.

Me: Mr. Caldwell, I've noticed that you're wearing corduroy pants today. Have you heard about the new corduroy pillows?
-Mr. Caldwell: Why no, I have not.
Me: They're making headlines.

<Mr. Caldwell puts his head back and laughs>
I later found out that he told his son the joke.

Mr. Dyer, my history teacher, is very intelligent and is teaching because he desires to help future America be more aware of the world around them to help them more wisely make decisions.

I'm also singing in a choir for Church. It's for a fireside full of music and we're singing lots of pretty music. I've been singing quite often recently and it's been a blast.

The Ward Christmas Party was fun, hanging out with Graham, Tyler, Kadee, Samuel, and Aila was hilarious! We talked about funny movies, and one of them was Hot Rod. (for those who have seen it, remember the hill?)

I also started a blog for Seth, y'all should check it out if y'all haven't already:

I love life and people notice when you are drawing nearer to the Savior. I know because people have been telling me a lot recently that I am becoming more Christlike (for ex: a saint, a devout Christian). Never give up and serve others. Heavenly Father will help you know what to do.

Last week I was sitting in Pre-Cal and there is this nice, sweet guy in front of me. Mr. Caldwell called on him and he did not know the answer and said aloud that he felt stupid. It really stuck in my mind and at the end of the period the Spirit told me to talk to him. It was interesting how his face changed and how he became more open.

The next day right before class started, he turned around and thanked me for what I said. He told me that it really turned his day around. And that is why I keep doing what the Spirit tells me to do, this is why I strive to be Christlike because I did not know what lives I may have touched.

I love y'all, stay true to the faith!
