I recently got married to my beautiful wife Tasha.
I guess it was about time to go for it. I will try
to put more pictures of "us" up in the
next little while. Suffice it to say that she is
the most beautiful and unique thing out of Africa.
Yep she’s from Ghana, where I served my mission,
where I taught her the gospel and baptized her.
Now she’s here.
The wedding was on the 27th of June 2008.
I'm pretty comfortable around almost anyone
though, and me & Tasha like to go out on
double dates with people and do anything fun.

I'm usually a pretty social guy, and when I say
something, I'm pretty direct and to the point most
of the time. I do like to associate with people of
diverse backgrounds, not your typical clique or
the same group of friends. You should feel
comfortable around me, at least I would. You won't
find a more genuine guy.
My testimony:
The Truth...no, not about smoking...but about
life. Have you ever wondered just what life really
is? I mean, when you really spend a solitary
moment to yourself and think about the things you
have done, maybe something you felt good about or
that you know deep down wasn't right. Remember as
a little child how clean and innocent you were,
when you didn't have to worry about getting things
off your conscience or clearing up things in your
life that are amiss and make you miserable? Why
do you even have a conscience?
That conscience is telling you that what you do
and what you make of yourself really are important
and will determine what you will become hereafter.
Ever seen someone who is incredibly miserable?
Chances are they made a lot of bad decisions.
I just want to testify that the Truth is out
there. And no matter if I am persecuted or hated
for saying so, I will come out and say that I know
that there is a God, that He is highly aware of
his children (as He is our loving Father and we
are His literal offspring), and that we have the
potential, by following the commandments He has
proscribed for us, to avoid much misery and
filthiness of this world and be clean and pure as
a little child again to return and live with Him
forever, surrounded by a loving eternal family.
This life is patterned after the life we may enjoy
hereafter. We came from living with our Heavenly
Father when we were born. We were prepared and
accepted the opportunities that this life had to
offer. We received a body when we were born and
were told that if we would seek to learn the
truth, accept it, and to try to live according to
laws that would sanctify us and perfect us, we
could, with the help of Jesus Christ, who was sent
to wash away our sins when we repent and change,
return to live with God and enjoy all the
knowledge, glory, and perfection that God has.
I know that this is true, and I know that this
life is a pattern of things before and things to
come hereafter. If we are faithful and listen to
the words of those called of God (prophets) to
tell us of things as they really are, to whom God
has spoken to and revealed His great plan of
happiness for His children, we may have a perfect
life hereafter with our families and loved ones.
If were are wise and raise our family the best we
can, we will be prepared to have children in the
eternities, raise them, and perfect them, just as
God is trying to do with us now.
Think about all of this. I have come to know that
it is true, and I leave my testimony for all the
world to see.
