Life...

Well....Job searchin for me is still not going so well. I have been called by selectemp quite a few times, and actually lost an amazing job that paid $13.55 an hour, but you know what, it happens. Anyways, I've taken a few jobs from selectemp that are only week long jobs, and I am going to be working part time with Jerry Workman at Weyerhouse. Right now, i've just been working a little with our neighbor Gary Jones, but he just doesn't have as much work for me as I want or as I need to do. He is really a great guy, and he is trying to help me get a job by talking with some people he works with. So that's my job situation right now!

Mission!!! Well it's been officially a week since I turned my papers in! I talked with the bishop today and he said that on the computer it said that i'm ready to receive my call, which means that they have went through all my papers and now it's all up to the apostles. I've been praying everynight for me to feel comfort and know that wherever I go, it is really inspired from God, and that he knows where i'm supposed to go! I'm at the end of Alma right now in the Book of Mormon, and I never realized how many wars there were, and how bad the Lamanites were. On the other hand, there are SO MANY miracles and blessings that happen in the Book of Mormon. One of my favorite stories in the Book of Mormon is Ammon and the Sons of Mosiah... INCREDIBLE! I just wish I had that faith, and that much truth in me! Ammon doesnt do ANYTHING on his own, everything is by the spirit, and he is directed in everything he does. This comes because of his enormous amount of faith and love for God and his people. I hope I can be a 100th of Ammon, and I will be a GREAT missionary. Anyways, i'm really excited to get my call, and everyone keeps asking where I want to go, but seriously it doesn't matter AT ALL to me, I just want to get out there and serve!

Basketball....So Me and Wayne are the coaches for the church basketball team and we are LOVING IT! We are going all out, even though we only have 4 games and one was taken off the schedule, so technically 3. But yeah, our first game, we showed up in our white shirts and matching ties, with a cup of hot chocolate and a clipboard! This is business, we have to win games, and we have to get our kids ready so they can go out there and dominate. We had a team meeting, and we all decided on the team name "Snow Peak Avalanche". Wayne and I have had numerous coaches meetings and have spent countless number of hours on preparing our team. Since we got our team name down, me and Wayne have been going through a bunch of designs for our t-shirts. We finally narrowed it down to two, and we voted as a team which one they wanted. So now were onto the making of the t-shirts. Our first game went REALLY WELL....we won 95-24 and basically dominated the other team...here is a write up that I did for the game and posted on the church wall....

Game Recap:
The Avalanche from the Snow Peak Ward seemed to have the dominating force the entire game. Tysen Webber had a standout game with 33 points and was named Most Valuable Player. He was helped out with a great effort from Steven Evans, who had a surprising 27 points. The Avalanche won the game 95 to 24, and the Riverview Ward had to go extra deep into their roster, looking to their Head Coach Brother Gabell for help. Brother Gabell brought some hope for the Riverview ward, but it just wasn’t enough for the all powerful Avalanche!
Game MVP: Tysen Webber
Game Surpriser: Steven Evans
Best defensive player: Steven Evans
Record: 1-0
Head Coach Wayne Stearns and assistant Coach Seth Probert are very excited for this team to keep rising to the top. We not only see this team as a championship team this year, but we will continue growing in the years to come to create a dynasty.
Scouting Report:
Brownsville: 7 footer is really good down low, he can jump, and leads the team. Team plays very well together, which may be influenced by the Head Coach.
Jefferson: Point Guard likes to drive to the whole. Red Head is tall and can move well, but nothing Tysen Webber can’t handle.

....Everyone loved this, and we're planning on doing this every game. We had practice tonight, and I made them run quite a bit because they kept missing free throws, and then I played along with them. After practice I actually played some more with Wayne Brother Corbett and one of his friends. So It was me and Wayne vs. those two! I kinda get a little mad at myself when I play basketball for fun anywhere because I seriously tear it up, i'm not going to lie. Like I was driving to the basket with ease, I guess I wasn't shooting that well tonight but I got like every rebound and was flyin everytime I jumped. I love when my knees are feeling good because then I can ACTUALLY play. I really was just drop step dunkin it like no other, and doing reverse dunks like I was doing it at home on the 8 foot rim! Anyways, I just wish I coulda used more of what I had in High School, but yeah i'm grateful that I actually got to play basketball and that I can still walk with my knees!

So, me and Wayne went dancing at Walmart the other day dressed up in crazy outfits...it was SO FUNNY. About 10 people were just watching us and another 5 to 10 were sitting in there car watching us dance. We danced for about 45 minutes and recorded some of it, which I am hoping to get online soon. This was about a week ago, than last night we did the same thing, but this time we did it in front of roths with different uniforms, and added another person! A bum actually came up and started dancing with us, and a cop came by, and I asked if this was illegal, and he said no I just wanted to see what you're doing. SO, I have definately been having some good times with Wayne lately!

K....well I just have to say that I love my family! I know that it's basically my family that reads this, but like Nate said, anybody can get on, so if you're reading this, I love you too! I love my nieces...there SO amazing and so beautiful! I love how Addy calls me at 7 in the morning and leaves a message saying "WAKE UP" 20 times! I love that ALL my nieces and nephews are going to call me uncle SET! I love that Sara is a professional photographer already. I just showed Wayne your blog and he saw the picture of Addy at the beach and he thought it was professional and he said you could sell that! I love that me and Mckay are so much alike, and how he really helped me grow in SO many ways, and was the PERFECT oldest brother for me! I love Backyard football, where it would always end with me crying or Nate arguing! I love how AMAZING my little sister really is. She probably doesn't think so, but she is the example for me, and she will always be! I love how supportive my family is with Everything, although I think if I had to stop playing football for BYU they might have a hard time with that. I love how great my parents are, and how I can talk to my dad about anything, and he will give you the smartest and wises decision, it's almost like the spirit talking! I love all the experiences I have/had in life, winning "ONE" game in two years of Varsity football which really helped me be humble, and I learned a lot of lessons than that I never would've learned anywhere else. I love that even though people might not have though this, but that I was always talked down to from my peers in football and all my other sports. Everyone just really didn't like me, or just liked makin fun of me all the time, but that was another blessing which most people wouldn't think so, because I was able to push through the hard times and look to my Savior for guidance in those REALLY rough times. I came to a point where I was fine with not playing football anymore because I felt that it woulda been better not to play, than to play and have all those bad influences on the team! I love how my senior year couldn't have been better. I was loyal to my school and to Lebanon, and at times I felt that it was a bad decision and I wanted to leave, but I stuck it through the hard times, and it ALL paid off my senior year. I love that you can really be happy in EVERY SINGE situation as long as you are always positive and know that everything is going to be alright, it might seem really hard sometimes, and almost unbareable, but if we make it through, oh the blessings we will receive! I love the 3 amigos (Thomas, Wayne and I) and how I was blessed to have such great friends and examples growing up! I love that no matter what happens to my sister Sara, she will always be happy and look to it as a blessing! I love how much my sister Jamie reminds me of my mom(she always hates me for sayin this), sometimes I think mom is talking to me when I talk to her! I LOVE NATE PROBERT, he is an inspiration for everyone, and he is one of the kindest person I know! I love 360 pounds! I love whoever is still reading this, because they either love me back because their actually taking the time to read, or their just bored and want something to read! I love my momma, for ALWAYS caring for me, and calling every second to check up on me, even though I still remember waiting for 10 hours after a 4th grade football practice! GOOD MEMORIES! I love good music, especially Enya and the Mormon Tabernacle choir! I love that i'm still writing, but I think it's about time to stop! So, whoever read this all the way through, thank you, because i'm sure it wasn't to fun! Life is great, and the church is true!

You know I love the one with you and my Mitt. I read this post a few days ago but didn't comment. I loved how you talked about everybody and are so building. I can hardly believe that you will have your call soon. I just love you Seffy. There is no one like you.
