Great song's.

I run cross country and I have found three songs that are great songs for runners.

The first one is "The Fighter" by Gym class heroes. It is great because it tells you keep fighting and you will get there.

The second one is "Hall of fame" by the Script. It is great because it tells you that you can be the best.

The third one and my favorite of the three it "Worth it" Timeflies. it is great because it is like it is telling the story of a race and it tells you that it takes hard work but it is worth it.

Hope you enjoyed!

I had two more Cross Country meets.

I had two more Cross Country meets! At the first one I did very well I finished in third place. It was a one and a half mile race, I finished In 6:20.  It was the weirdest course ever, It had three button turns (a button turn is were were you turn 180 degrees in just a few feet), There were two ditches and we ran under to signs by a highway. At the meet my team finished in forth by just three points.

In the second race I also did pretty good. I finished fifth over all with a time of 11:52 in a two mile race. It was a much more normal course it just had two or three hills
no hard turns and had a lot of shade.
In the meet my team finished in forth again but this time by a lot.

I have been having a lot of fun in Cross county this year and cant wait
for my next meet!              

I had my first Cross Country Meet!

I had my first cross country meet this afternoon! Not to brag but I did very well, I ran a mile and a half in 9:04 I finished first on my team and third over all at the meet. The course started in an open field we ran through a few trees and around three baseball fields back through the trees and back were we started.

The Cultural Celebration.

The Cultural Celebration.

This is very late but last night I wrote about my experience with the Cultural Celebration for the Kansas City temple. Here it is.

The Cultural Celebration.

(Thursday-Saturday from my point of view)

Thursday: We left form PBLO just before extended day to get platforms for the choir. We went to underground storage for The KC Symphony and met to other men from our ward with pickup trucks. We picked up some from there and took them to the auditorium. Then we went to the PAC to get more and back to the cave for even more, then back at the auditorium we set some up before we had to leave.

Friday: we got up at 5:00 in the morning to get to the auditorium at 6:30 so Dad could be there to start to set up the AV stuff. The problem? The people we were there to help were not going the be there until 10:00 so we sat in the top of the auditorium for three and a half hours. When thy finely got there we did tasks like set up chars and tables. At lunch I had one of the best hamburgers I ever had and Dad even let me get soda. When we got back I spent a lot of time sorting out t-shirts. Then did son more stuff like sorting duck tape and unloading trucks. Then we went to Chipotle for diner before the regeneration and divisional. Then people started to come in we got are wrist band's and we started they talked to us about the next day and then Kenneth Cope sung to us and we went home.

Saturday: We got there a little early because Dad had to be there early. The first thing we did was practices Arise but we could not do is on the up in the auditorium because the AV stuff was not working well. Then we were supposed to do tunnel (were they showed us the tunnels so we would know were to go) but I had telephone hour practices. Then we did arena were thy showed us were to enter the arena but again I had telephone hour practices. And then we did props were we practices are dances. Then more telephone hour practices. I then had some down time and then we ate lunch I did not expect it to fill me up but it did. We then got our costumes. And then brother Hendrickson started to talk and it was not good news the Jumbotron was not working he asked us to all kneel down to pray we did. Then we some time later we did a run thru but did not do a dress rehearsal because we did not have time. Then it was time to go to the arena the dismissed us by stake we were one of the last we then were there on the arena floor. Then the prophet came in the place got vary loud. Then the after some music by the choir the prophet talked we started. First it was Arise then to the hall way were we waited for our dance then did the maple life rag and then me and me and my partner Milisa went of the floor to get ready for telephone hour. Then we went down stairs and the had to right back up stairs and had to sit in the vary hot hall way for about an hour the whet on the baloney for popcorn popping, missionary medley, We Believe and finely one heart in the heartland. The an unplanned thing happened everybody waved there colorful t-shirts above there heads and it looked so cool. And then we went down stairs and went by stack we again were one of the last to to go. And I left one of the vary best day of my life.
