I've always lived my life "eat till your full then keep eating cus it's yummy." To be honest with you this rule has always worked for me or so I thought. There I sat at breakfast, yesterday morning, and ready to gulf up what I thought would be a good size meal. Not too big, not too small. I mean the description was just 2 sentences "eggs, bacon, sausage, some kind of meat I don't remember, and bisquits and gravy." I figured it was like a sample platter with a little bit of everything. My initial thought was reassured by those who was taking me out to breakfast when they insisted my companion and I also try the pankakes. They swore that "they were to die for," and would not take NO for an answer, so 2 pancakes were on the way as well! Elder Corbridge and I were still in this state of "This will be a good hearty meal." To give you a visual of what we expected take a look at this LumberJack ready to demolish his good decent sized meal



He's even got my glasses

It didn't take us long to realize that this picture was pretty close to accurate but in a totally different sense then I had initially imagined. You see the Lumberjack is actually a GIANT and the meal if propertional. Since that didn't make the most sense, I'll put this into more simple terms, The meal came out on four plates... all of them full! Soon after the meal Proverbs 23:2 took on a whole new meaning "And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite." I knew after that meal I'd never have to worry about appetite again. Nothing sounded good to Elder Corbridge or myself, but life had to go on and sure enough that night the same family insisted on taking us out to dinner!<--- Not sure if that should be an exclamation mark, but you see I'm super greatful for the dinner and I love this family, but my belly just didn't feel like anything at the moment. 5 hours passed, stomach is just getting better from our nice "hearty" meal when it's dinner time. We head out to dinner and are happy to have some entertaining company!! We order something small, but like I said before there is no such thing as small, so the grandma orders us more food. Out comes a huge BBQ sandwich, cole slaw, macaroni and cheese, onion rings and a soda for me, and another sandwich, more coleslaw, and more onion rings for Elder Corbridge. Within seconds we had more food than our bellies could handle, but somehow an hour latter the food was gone and we were back to that point where we had to waddle to walk. They always say pictures speak 1000 words so here I'll just put a picture of me here so you can see how much I waddled.


You see I can barely stand up straight. Plus I look like a penguin in the picture, but you get the point. I was so fat I waddled around just like a penguin so it only makes sense I'd look like a penguin right... well back to my point. Soon our dinner was finished and we were once again over filled with food. Yet I wish I could tell you that that macaroni and cheese was the last thing I ate that night, but the grandma insisted on taking us to "Dairy Bell" as she called Dairy Queen, so since NO was not an option off to "Dairy Bell we went. Trying to order a mini chocoholic blizzard just didn't work either as I heard "make it a large" come from the grandma in the background. With a full stomach a large blizzard was now on it's way. I don't know how but I finished the entire thing, which still confuzzles my mind, but more importantly confuzed my belly. Luckily for us it was insisted that we get some icecream to take home with us as well. So to say the least we now have a box of ice-cream sitting in our fridge. I can promise you I'll be eating it, but I sure hope it's latter than sooner. I'm done for food for quite sometime.

So now what does this story and this penguin have to do with the gospel? You see the scriptures teach us “Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.”(1 Cor. 6:19–20) The wrong way to treat God's temple is to fill it up with junk and over work it. The nice way to treat this temple God has blessed us with is truly live as God wants you to. He's given us clues to treat our body the best possible, so forget my initial rule and live by "when your full, your full, don't abuse and overuse the temple God gave you"

The more and more I think about our loving Heavenly Father the more and more I would like to relate this next song to his love. A love with out end, Amen by George Straight so fully shows a fathers love.

I got sent home from school one day with a shiner on my eye. Fightin' was against the rules and it didn't matter why. When dad got home I told that story just like I'd rehearsed. And then stood there on those tremblin' knees and waited for the worst.

How many times have we sinned and felt like there is no way we can be forgiven of this. There is no way I'm telling anything and then we realize we have to and we too sit there on our tremblin knees and just wait for the worst.

And he said, "Let me tell you a secret about a father's love, A secret that my daddy said was just between us." He said, "Daddies don't just love their children every now and then. It's a love without end, amen, it's a love without end, amen."

Remember God's love for us is a love without end. He sent His only beggoten son to die for us. Let us not forget that great and everlasting sacrafice!

The other day I was driving around in this beautiful Mazda 3 when it hit me. Cars don't just relate to the restoration but they relate to the Gospel of Christ. The next day, I had just walked out to the driveway and gotten in the car. I now had to use a little FAITH to turn on the car. Something I hoped would happen but I couldn't see it yet.

With the turn of the key my FAITH became knowledge, the car started. Next I started backing up forgetting that on the mission my companion is suppose to be behind the car to make sure I don't hit something. I had to REPENT, and the breaks did a perfect job at helping me do so. Soon after I started driving along having to REPENT(use the breaks) quite often it started to rain or maybe I went to the car wash.


My car was immerged in water (baptism). Soon later the sun came out and made my day all bright and sunny. It's influence brought me happiness, just like the Holy Ghost. It wasn't long till I still had a long trip to go but because I knew my car was so full of the Gospel of Christ that I too could keep driving and endure till the end!

"And I saw a pillar of light exactly over my head above the brightness of the sun, which decended gradually until it fell upon me and when the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other--"This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!"

God the Father and Jesus Christ answered his question. All the churches had part of the truth but none of them had the complete truth. Jospeh Smith was called to restore Christ's church on the earth today. You can find out for yourself if the church has been restored by reading the Book of Mormon, praying to ask God if it is true, and taking the appropriate actions when you receive you answer. We all must be mechanics of our soul and restore the truth within ourselves!!!

Father's day is right around the corner and for those of you who don't know my dad's favorite car is a Corvette!!! So today for fathers day I figured I'd right this blog on the Restoration of God's Gospel... Yeah i know nothing to do with Corvettes... NOT.  And if I ever get my photos working then I'll be able to have pictures of Corvettes for you!! But anywho as of right now for time purposes at the library I'll continue with the comparison. Sit back and imagine... hopefully you will only have to imagine this... but imagine you are driving along the road in your nice new Corvette when a car comes out of no where and T-bones you. Leaving your car dismantled but still fixable. People come rushing to the scene trying to help but none of them really know how to fix your car. They try their hardest to make your car look the same as it used to but they just aren't the creators of your beautiful Corvette. You are left with a car that just doesn't run the same as it used to. That is until you go to the right people and ask them to fix it. A Corvette Speciality Car Mechanic! There your car gets a full on resortoration. They take in your car remove the stuff that people had added that didn't need to be there, fix the stuff that was damaged, and put the same old car all back together again. Same old car, same old Look!

Likewise the Gospel of Christ needed a restoration after Christ was crucified. Shortly after this sad happening and after the happy ressurrection Christ called his 12 apostles to go out and teach His Gospel. Sadly Christ could not stay he had other work to do as he told those in Jeruselum "I have other sheep that are not of this fold" Slowly more and more sad things happened short after the Gospel of Christ was hit by something horrible and each the the 12 apostles and any apostles called there after were killed. This made it impossible for Christ's authority to continue until Christ restored it himself. All things were done in the wisdom of He who knows all things. Amos 8:11-12 prophesied of the such authority no longer being on the earth. There too was a need of a restoration of Gospel. In 1820 this restoration was made possible and tomorrow we will have an update. So stay tuned and be patient!!!

I'm back... And I know you missed me... and if you didn't then that's not my problem I still love you! But enough about me me me me me me me. We've got a lot of make up work to do. So I want ya'll to relate the last couple of non-posts to me to the Gospel. Now imagine to yourself the way you devout readers felt when you came to this page day after day, but yet discovered day after day there was no post. So sad, but even more important than anything I write here or anything I do is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Now put yourself in the shoes of those who day after day sought after the Gospel of Jesus Christ during those hard years when the Gospel was not yet returned to us. Those hard years after the death of Christ and his deciples. Imagine searching and not being able to find. Lucky for us the Gospel is back! And yes I'm back too! Christ has entrusted each and everyone of us with agency to seek out His gospel. I exhort each person reading this to do so. Here these missionaries might help you in your path!!!
