Family First
My family always comes first. I am the one who loves to gather the family on Sunday's for family games and discussion. I love to go on family walks. I choose family over anything else. I love being together and doing things as a family. I was recently married and can't wait to start my own little family one day.
Lover of Africa
I served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Zimbabwe Africa. I labored and served among those incredible people for 2 years. My heart was opened and touched. I feel in love with the people of Zimbabwe and Africa in general. Since returning home, I have daily contact with friends from all over Africa. I have even gone back to Africa for a research project on schools. The countries I visited were Zambia, Malawi, Botswana, and South Africa. I love the cultures and the people. Africa has and always will have a special place in my heart.
Food Fanatic
I love food! I probably love it a little too much. My wife and I have a tradition of going out to eat at a new restaurant once a month. I want to try all the different types of food. There are many places all around Provo with all different kinds of food. We have a goal to try each one at least once and experience the different types of food from all over the world.
Lover of Sports
I have loved sports since the day I was born. I played all kinds of sports while growing up. My main sports ended up being baseball and basketball. I could play those games all day or watch them all day. There have been days when I actually have done that. I love sports and I learn so much from them. They have helped me become the person I am today and I continually love to participate in them.
That's really cool that you've spent so much time in Africa! I have never been but I really want to visit some day. Also I like your goal to try all the types of restaurants in Provo. What have been your favorite ones so far?
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to visit Africa because of the unique culture compared to other places I've been, so that's so cool you've been to so many areas of Africa and spent so much time there. That's a fun a goal to go and eat a new place each month. Does Provo have a lot of good, authentic foreign food?
ReplyDeleteMy mom is from Zim! I am from South Africa! My cousin is currently in the Bulawayo Mission. We should talk!
ReplyDeleteAj! I have known you for a bit and these descriptions of yourself are spot on. you live these things every day of your life. through your words, actions, and apetites, we can see each one of these incredible descriptions.
ReplyDeleteI love that you prioritize family in your life because it is also extremely valuable to me. I had a friend that served in Zimbabwe a few years ago and reading his emails was always crazy to compare his lifestyle with mine in the United States, although I'm sure it's just as amazing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool experience for you to serve your mission in Africa! I have always wanted to travel there!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your post. I can’t believe that you served in Zimbabwe; that’s really cool! I also enjoy trying new foods and I was curious about some of the places you visited! I am looking for some good places to try, so let me know if you have any good suggestions!
ReplyDeleteI love that your epithet about the importance of family was even first in your list of epithets. It really emphasizes how much you put family at the top of your priorities. ☺ One of my good friends served in Angola, so it makes me happy to hear about other people who served in Africa. That’s so cool! Like you, I am also a huge fan of sports and food haha!
