Hey Ya'll,
Well starting at last friday the school day was good. In P.E. we played basketball and I was the only white kid playing and I guess the didn't see me as much of a threat. I played great defense i got like 30 rebounds and i packed a few kids. At the end of class my coach told me I should try out for the team but I'm trying to decide on playing for school or playing in another league with a lot of friends from church. We had planned on goin to Louisianna that night but we had to do a lot of things that took too long and decided insted of driving all night we would leave at three in the morning. We drove in our freinds 15 seater van with only 9 of the seats in and a t.v. and xbox so the drive there was awesome. We got there around 10 and started clearing fallen trees and branches from peoples yards. after an hour or two we went to subway for lunc. Then we went to another house with a gross smelly mud front yard and cleared debris from there. My friends caught a crab which we wanted to catch as many animals as we could. then we went to the local church building set up camp,took showers,then went to dinner. Dinner was good and the resteraunt had metal mugs which was cool. the next day we got up at like 8 and everyone was already up but us. We got our assignment and headed out. We went over one of those bridges that go up for boats right as a big barge was about to go through we got out to check it out that was pretty cool. When we were driving there we were driving along a big creek and on the banks there were alligators everywhere which was pretty cool and we wanted to catch one. When we got there we noticed there were lizards everywhere. They were called green anoles and could change color they were really cool. We caught a lot of them. then we trimmed a huge dead tree and carried all the branches to the street. When we finished there we went down the road to another house and did a little clean up there. We went back to camp and packed up everything. WE went to breakfast/lunch at Ihop it was really good.Then we started the 6 hour drive back. We watched Napolean Dynamite and played one of our old football games the whole way back it was fun. we got back at around 8 and went to sleep. Today school was good to and in P.E. (which is my favorite class) we played football and I was one of the better kids out there.And at the end of class my other coach told me I should try out for the football team but I dont know about that either. So alot has happened in the past few days and I've enjoyed all of it.Thats about all.

Sup Ya'll,
It's going pretty friggin awesome here in Tennessee. Last weekend we had a youth activity like a dance but instead we did a sports night. At the place we had it there is a skate park and me and one of my friends went like five hours early to skate. I hadn't skated in a long time but i learned everything I knew and more. I didn't skate board but did whats technically called aggressive skating,It's pretty much in-line skates with spaces to grind rails and stuff. The actual activity was also awesome even though i was kinda exhausted from five hours of skating. We all signed in and we got different teams.( I was on the black team) Our country was called "The Winners". We won three out of five events. The events were just wierd things like a relay with a swimming noodle in between our legs. Thier was tug of war but we lost kinda miserably in that. after the team events we did sports. Me and zac played soccer and at the end I played a little football. A tmutual last night i finished the final requiremenst for my deacon duty to god. This weekend Zac, my Dad, And I are going down to Louisanna for hurricane relief. I am looking forward to that. I'm doing good in school and better in geography. I've been pretty busy here in the volunteer state. But I'm already tired of school and looking forward to this summer when we will be coming to C.A. I know that will be a good time like always. I'm thinking about trying out for the school basketball team but if my friend can play a age group up in the church league we played in earlier in the year I might just play there. We can play with zac and other kids forom our church and hopefully win more games.

hey people,

Life is goin pretty good here in the SOUTH. Our ward is going to help with hurricane relief, but i'm not old enough to go but I've heard that I'll be able to go it should be a good experience. School is going ok I mean ok by how good can school be. I've made a few friends but I dont know if 2 counts as a few. Most of my classes are easy but I'm having trouble with geography because we have to illustrate and color every left page in our notebook and thats a lot of left pages! I'm not to good at illustrating geography not... I mean I like drawing but drwing clouds and the water cycle and stuff isn't all that interesting.In gym.. I mean lifetime wellness... we are doing weight lifting which I like doing. Math is easy and i like math. English is boring we take like a week to do an assignment that i finish in like a day because everyone else talks when thier supposed to be working but i dont have anyone to talk to so I get my work done a lot faster. Spanish is coming really easy but we do really easy assignments that take like five minutes in a class that is like an hour and a half long. I started looking back at how close I am to getting my Deacon duty to god and I opnly need like three requirements. Seminary is good but it's really early. I've missed a few days because of sleep. Me and zac have been practicing dunking on our basketball goal and we can dunk with like little soccer balls but not full size basketballs yet. Sorry i havent written lately I'll try to keep writing more often but thats all for now.
