Hello everyone I'm sorry that it took me forever to get this thing updated for everyone so it seems that i left off the week before homecoming so i will pick up there.
So on Tuesday the devotional was good, the band played and there was someone who gave a speech to us, after the devotional the school provided us with free lunch, i know every college students dream.
On Wednesday it was back to classes as usual so pretty boring again. Except that i have been going to the temple every Wednesday night so that is something to look forward to.
On Friday it was time for the Homecoming dance, there were a couple to choose from, there was a formal one, a semi formal one and a casual one, my friends and i decided that we would go to the casual one since this one looked like it would be the most fun. The theme for this dance was like all glowwy so when we got there we got neon paint on us and glow sticks. Inside the dance there were so mane black lights and everyone was glowing different colors and it was very cool, we danced the night away in our usual way we do, then after we got back to the dorms i took my date out for ice cream, and so did my roommate and while we were there eating our ice cream outside, this creepy old guy came up to us and started talking to us randomly, it was quite weird.
On Saturday the homecoming game had a lot of excitement in the air, the guys in my dorm building got together and we played a game of football as an elders quorum. This was a lot of fun and we all hoped that the football game would be great as well. We played against the TCU Horned Toads, and it was basically no game at all, I was used to this sort of thing and it reminded me of our football team back in high school because they always lost bad as well.
The Monday after that I taught another lesson for FHE as it was my turn to teach. I taught
Tuesday there was another devotional and it was again a very good one, it was done by a renowned author, and I liked it so much that after English that day i went out and bought his book, it is quite good and i would recommend reading it, it is called "Three Cups of Tea" and it is about a mans quest to promote peace by building schools. That night i went again to the MTC referral center to answer people's questions about the church.
Wednesday it was business as usual i went to class then i finished my day off with a visit to the temple.
Thursday was a good day, i had a date scheduled with this girl i like, so i cooked dinner for her, then we carved a pumpkin then there was a pumpkin i had carved earlier in the week that was starting to wilt so we chopped it up ninja style. After that we had chocolate dipped strawberries and then we went and told scary stories with our friends, then we planned to make a scary movie, it was all around a very fun date.
Friday i had another date with the girl, this was because she had brought a cheesecake that we were going to have and then didn't end up having it so we had it on Friday. That night there was a building party and we had a ping pong tournament, people were playing Halo, people weer also playing Super Smash Brothers and it was very fun I made it to the 3rd to last round of the Ping Pong tourney.
Saturday was fun also, we went and played rugby as a dorm building as we played football together the week before, this was a lot of fun and we played by the real rules because one of the guys here actually plays rugby. After rugby we played football with some rms and we got creamed, but it was fun anyways. That night there was a Halloween party for our stake and me and my roommates dressed up like a boy band, we were the Backseat Boyz and it was a great night, again just dancing the night away like we always do.
This last Monday was fun for Fhe we played murder in the dark and had a lot of fun.
Yesterday for devotional one of the elders from the presidency of the seventy came and talked to us and it was a very good devotional. Again on Tuesday i went to the MTC referral canter and answered questions.
On Wednesday i had a Book of Mormon test, and idk why they make these tests so hard, I mean i read every night but the questions they asked are things that you would never think about so its a bit difficult. again on Wednesday i went to the temple, Grandma i finished up the names that you sent me, so i will send them off here shortly i will be sure to send you an email when i do so that you will know when they are on the way. Grandma i actually do have a question for you which is: when things got hard for you like when you were way overloaded and you couldn't find time to get it all done, what did you do to get through it?
Well everyone this seems to be it for these last couple of weeks, I'm sorry that it took so long, but again i have been very busy. Still check out our lukeisms blog, lots of funny stuff, here is the link so till next time I'm off to go have more adventures. about repentance, and it was a very good lesson.

October 21
Well here i am back again.....late, but it just looks like wednesday is gonna be the new day for new posts cuz im busy on tuesdays. But anyways i had another good week, a couple of things happened so i wont keep you waiting any longer.
Last thursday i found out that biology is not my forte, seeing as i bombed the midterm, maybe it was i didnt study hard enough but either way it is done, but the good thing is that my teacher drops the lowest midterm, so i just have to do good on the next one and we will see what happens.
Friday i had a fun time, that night we had a ward activity, which was playing night games. We played capture the flag, sadly my team lost but who cares i had fun anyways. We played Ghost in the graveyard, for those of you who dont know, cuz i didnt, how you play is you you send someone out into a field that is dark, then the rest of the group counts and then after that they run and they try not to get tagged, if you do then you are now a ghost and you try to tag someone and the hard part is that when you run all of the ghosts are laying down so you cant see them, but then when someone sees them they yell ghost in the graveyard and the ghost can get up and tag someone. I didnt win that one but i did make it to the 3 to last round so not bad. We also played missionary tag, im sure all of you knwo it, it is the game that you link arms with someone and if the person trying not to get tagged links on to your partner then you gotta run.
Saturday was nice, i was able to go to walmart to get some groceries, and i got a lot, after that one of the girl rooms was having a party to watch the football game, which they rojected on the wall. This was pretty fun especially since we won which always makes it fun. Saturday night i played football for a while but then we lost the ball in a bush so i went and got my soccer ball and we played that till it got i bit too rough, then we went and watched the dark nigt in katies apartment. The movie ended right on time and we were able to get out by midnight.
I am still liking going to tutor the 3 graders on mondays, This week i got to help them cut out number squares in rows and coloumns to teach them multiplication. The only bad part is that i have to walk a mile to get to the school but o well i guess it could be worse. O and dad when you come up to get me in april or whenever we need to go to this amazing hot dog place, you will love it.
So this seems to be it this week, so ill update this again next wednesday, o and lukeisms is still getting new ones and we appreciate all the views, dont be affraid to leave a comment or 2 while your there, just click here, so talk to you later im off to go have more adventures.

October 14
hey everyone I'm back so this week was pretty good last Tuesday i helped at the referral center again and i help more people. i really like going to it cuz it makes me feel good.
going around. But swine flu is exactly the same as the regular flu except that it is more I got sick and it was confirmed to be swine flu cuz another one of my roommates got it and went to the doctor said it was. I actually expected it to be cuz it is like the only strain of the flu that'scontagious. I knew i wouldn't die cuz only people with week immune systems died of it so its really nothing to worry about.
I wen to a hockey game, we played metro state, and we killed them 6-1, boy it feels different to have teams that win. It was really fun there and i think i might go to more games. There was a girl on their team and i had to respect her cuz she must have guts to play with the boys and not only that she was on the starting line so she must have been good.
the ball moves so fast and they can really kill a ball. We were playing against I also went to a girls volleyball game and those are way fun. Sorry Michelle but i like watching college volleyball better, they actually work as a team. Other than that it was really exciting cuzNew Mexico State and we beat them in 3 straight games so we killed them.
I went shopping on Saturday and got another jacket so now i have a whole 2 but they didn't have any big ones yet so i dint have a big one. However this is soon to come because i know that it will get cold. then on Saturday night i watched the football game and we won big against unlv. We are playing against San Diego state which i think is a stupid name for a university cuz San Diego is not a state but anyways i think we will beat them.
So this seems to be it sorry i didn't update this yesterday but i was super busy so yeah i will try to update it next Tuesday and get back on schedule, but till then keep checking lukeisms they are still hilarious click here for the link.

October 6
Hey everyone sorry it took so long i actually kinda forgot but hey its still tuesday so im not a liar yet, so this last week was pretty stressful cuz of midterms and all that fun stuff. Last week i had 2 tests my book of mormon class i got a 80 on that one and my chemistry and idk what i got on that one yet. This week i have a paper for english due. Next week i have my american heritage class and my pdbio test. I think that the american heritage one will be hard cuz thats just a hard class all together, but hey ill get it done this semester and never have to take it again.
The football game was great it was against utah state but sadly mom we crushed them 35-17 sorry but were better, it was the first cold game of the year, i had to wear my sweater, but idk how much longer i will be able to make it on just my sweater. but there was a lot of great plays and big hits, the only bad part is that our quarterback likes to throw interceptions so a bummer there but at least we still won.
I was able to go to 2 girls soccer games and we won both of them, again mmom utah state notsteppin up we beat them 3-0 in regulation so sorry but you lost again. and the second game was on saturday night after priesthood session against our arch rival utah, we came out victorious with a 2-1 lead after 10 min of overtime so it was a good game. It was also a very phsical game, there were hits everywhere i swear i was at a football game, there was so much that the ref pulled 3 cards 2 against those devils at utah and one against us but we still won so who cares. It was pretty cool cuz at the game i got free ice cream cuz i was still in my shirt and tie from conferernce, not the best idea when its cold but hey its free.
I loved conference over the weekend it was such a good session there were a lot of good talks and i really liked all of them, 3 of my favorites was jeffrey r hollands talk about the book of mormon, it was so passiionate that you couldnt help but like it, another was David a Bednar's about the family and love and stuff, again another really well done talk with lots of emotion, my other favorite was (sorry ladies you didnt hear this one and you missed out) Dieder F Uchdorf's talk in priesthood session, one of the stories that sticks out in my mind is when he was little he was a refugee on a farm and he had the worst living conditions and he had to work to get his mind off the terribleness.
So this is about all for this week, sorry it was so late but check up next week for my next entry called October 13, haha i know how original but hey it works. yeah and keep checkin lukeisms the are funny you wont regret it here's the link.

Hey I'm back for yet another addition to my adventures, so last week was pretty good, still weeknights are kinda boring cuz you know everyone is doing homework and yes there is tons. but sometimes there are things to do at night. Like last night i ended up being a chemistry tutor for one of the girls in my FHE group, she didn't actually ask me to i kinda went over there and she was doing her homework and she asked me if i knew chemistry, and i was like yeah science major here of course i do, so my apartment is like the unofficial tutors of the FHE group cuz Tyler tutors them in physics and now i do Chem.
So last Wednesday i went to true "blue" football, this was so much fun, i actually didn't even play football while i was there i just played in a bunch of blue foam for 2 hours and i had a lot of fun doing so. What this was all about was there were these 2 big slides of foam down the hill at Helaman Field and so i was sliding for a while but then just playing around in the foam that was there, i have pictures of me on my face book so check it out if you wanna see me like a smurf, ha ha all i need is the little white hat (if anyone decides to photo shop this i want a copy send it to my email)
Last Thursday i went to the Temple to do baptisms for the day and i will be going every week so now i have something to do that is uplifting (mom i still need those names, grandma if you wanna send some too i would love them email mom for my address if you want to). I went with some people from my FHE group and we didn't have family names so it took forever but it was worth it.
Saturday was amazing, BYU played CSU (Colorado State University) and we won 42-23, there was tons of big hits and it was really fun to watch. After the football game i went to the women's soccer game against USU (sorry mom that's a bad school in my mind, but then again I'm biased) but either was we beat them 3-0, it was a great game that had a lot of physical contact that got a little dirty on USU side near the end, which is kinda expected cuz they were down 3 goals and they were frustrated, but hey i would have played like that the whole game. After the soccer game me J.J. Katie and Sarah went to Wendy's and got some food it was good but pretty busy but then again its on a college campus so i think its always busy. On the way back i decided to jump over these barricades cuz it was the middle of the night and i was hyper so why not, but when i jumped my right foot hit the first one then my left shin smashed on the second one and i almost fell on my beautiful face (that would have been tragic) but somehow i landed on my feet,I basically felt like superman, so now my left shin has a nice little bruise on it but o well it could have been worse.
Yesterday i taught the FHE lesson, since that is my calling, I taught on gaining a testimony which also turned into how to strengthen it, I was only supposed to take 15 min but i took about 30, but o well it was a great lesson, or at least everyone said it was, ok i know it was cuz i felt the spirit and anytime you feel the spirit its good, so yeah great lesson, one of the girls room made no bake cookies and they were great.
This seems like its about it for this week, i gotta represent our other blog lukeisms its always got more new stuff cuz Luke is just random like that, check it out its super funny, to check it out right now just click here, Ill be back next week for another update of Nathan's college adventures.

So I'm back to update this sucka cuz i mean it is Tuesday. So any ways this last week was pretty good, my classes are starting to pick up and get into the actual material so that means more work :( but o well that's what comes with college i guess.
Yesterday for FHE we went as a ward to go see Up and i would say that it is a great movie and that you should go see it if you haven't. The story line seems like someone high made it but then again what kids movie doesn't. If you do see this move you will love it, there is a lot of funny spots and there are spots that are sad (mom you will cry) there are spots that are crazy and spots that are like how the heck is this happening and how is the old guy not dead yet. Look at me being a movie reviewer how fun, good thing that's not what i want to do cuz then you would get these totally informal reviews and no one would see the movies.
I still have yet to teach a lesson for FHE, but hey I'm not complaining if i don't have to teach all semester i would not be mad about it. Actually this wont happen cuz i am teaching next Monday, i am going to be teaching on family unity cuz i mean we are a family now so might as well get close.
Last week I gave blood, i got a free shirt, it wasn't through the red cross so i was bummed but I'm sure they need it as much as the red cross and its already out of me so too late if i cared. It actually kinda sucks that i donated cuz next Monday there is a blood drive through my stake so i would have liked to show off to the ladies that I'm a good guy and if you wanna make me cookies that will be fine cuz ill need to get my blood sugar up, i know not realistic but a guy can dream right.
up to me they are Also i participated in this accessibility awareness thing that came to school, i learned that being in a wheelchair on a college campus sucks, and its kinda different when I'm used to people lookinglooking down to me cuz I'm not taller then them anymore, but anyways it was really hard i had to go down to the Smith field house and my mom can explain where that is its down by the ipf mom so get to it(if you forgot where the ipf is it was down the little street from brick oven). That was the hardest free shirt i got but i don't even have it cuz they didn't have my size so they are ordering me one, dang average size body.
I went shopping on Saturday and got a sweater vest, i was so excited, i know dork arms on fire freezing chest but i gotta say that i look dang hot in that sweater vest and hey if the girls like it i like it, i also got some new shoes and some pants and 2 shirts, i was gonna get a coat but then when i was looking they were like $100 and i didn't feel like spending that much on a coat....yet its gonna happen soon, cuz it was kinda cold this morning i think like low 40 high 30 or something so its coming D:
school district, it felt just like it did last year i mean it was mostly speakers (mom tell the 5Yesterday i did my first day of mo TOPS service, which is a tutoring program with the ProvoMexican and some Spanishth graders that i tutored last year hi, they were 4th graders then) I tutored in math so i was pretty comfortable, at least it wasn't English cuz we all know how not good at that i am, i mean have you been reading this, definitely not an English major.
On Saturday i also went to the first home football game which was a total letdown, the score was 54-28 Florida state winning by a lot, so we dropped 12 spots to #19 but hopefully we will win this week against Colorado state. I had my face painted for the game to be one of those people see and think woah what a fan, this was not the best idea cuz while the paint was drying it was itchy and i couldn't touch it and then after it was done drying i couldn't move my face which sucked.
group so we hang I had a bunch of people over for dinner on Sunday, i made my spaghetti sauce and they all loved it, but then again who doesn't, but our kitchen was packed full, there was 18 people eating in there, we pulled a table in that we found in the building and a bunch of chairs, there was too many people for the table so 2 of them were eating on the couch, i had one apartment bring rolls which were amazing, i need to get those girls to make me rolls more often and i had the other apartment bring a dessert, they brought individual chocolate lave cakes and they are all my new best friends cuz they tasted that good (we already were friends i mean they are from my FHEout a lot anyways)
This seems to be it so i miss you all but don't worry I'm doing great, o and check out our other blog its hilarious. just click here.

group so we hang I had a bunch of people over for dinner on Sunday, i made my spaghetti sauce and they all loved it, but then again who doesn't, but our kitchen was packed full, there was 18 people eating in there, we pulled a table in that we found in the building and a bunch of chairs, there was too many people for the table so 2 of them were eating on the couch, i had one apartment bring rolls which were amazing, i need to get those girls to make me rolls more often and i had the other apartment bring a dessert, they brought individual chocolate lave cakes and they are all my new best friends cuz they tasted that good (we already were friends i mean they are from my FHEout a lot anyways)
This seems to be it so i miss you all but don't worry I'm doing great, o and check out our other blog its hilarious. just click here.

week 3
Well here i am im back, still surviving after another week of college. This last week was pretty good in football we demolished Tulane 54-3 so that was exciting, but no partying cuz it was kinda expected and also cuz the game was at like 1:30 so it was done really early, but anyways it was a good win, i cant wait till saturday's game against Florida State its a home game and its sold out so its gonna be epic. I got my ticket Monday and im like right in the middle of the south endzone like right in the middle of the uprights. We are currently ranked #7 in the country so lets see what we can do against this seminoles team, the commentators for the last game were saying that if we win this game then there is a good possibility that byu will go to the BCS championship bowl, how crazy would that be if byu won a national title the year before mi mission.
Last Friday was the Fall fest, which is like a big party kinda thing, it was pretty fun, i was dancing most of the time, but they had a bunch of stuff like speed dating, laser tag, salsa dancing, free food, a magician and live music o and the dance part. It was pretty huge cuz it was for the whole campus.
So today pres Monson gave the devotional today and it was amazing, the whole marriot center was full like there were no seats left so there was about 22,700 people there it was amazing. His devotional was really cool he like told about all the prophets he knew and about them, it was really cool.
We had family home evening last night and my family is really cool, there are 2 people from Hawaii in it which is crazy, so after home evening me and jj were going to the creamery and we decided that we would by the 2 apartments candy and goodies and ding dong ditch them, this wasn't the safest thing cuz both of them are on the top floor so it was kinda crazy getting down, but i talked to girls from both apartments and they think they have the best guy apartment in the ward, which is true of course cuz i mean i'm in it.
So i got the opportunity on Monday morning to give one of the girls in my FHE group a blessing cuz she was in a marathon on Saturday and she hurt her knee kinda bad it was pretty gross so me and my roommate Tyler gave her a blessing, and it was amazing, when she came to family home evening that night her knee was fine, no swelling, no pus, no pain when she walks, she can run and jump now, and all there is now are come scratches and cuts, so there is some priesthood in action for ya.
Well this seems to be it for my college adventures this week, o and our lukeisms blog gets updated almost everyday so chech it out at shippmates.wordpress.com, again i will update this again next Tuesday, so ttyl.

Hello all
This is my first entry and i thought i would tell you what this blog will be about, i will post a new entry once a week to let whoever wants to know what I'm up to in college, hence the name, Nathan's college adventures.
So i think the first thing i will tell you about is moving in, when i first moved in and i met my roommates it was very awkward around them and no one really talked then as time progressed we started talking more and more and now in my opinion we are all each others best friends and basically like a family to each other.
Now last Sunday in church i was giving a calling and i am the family home evening instructor, what i do is 2 times a month i will be teaching the a 15 min lesson in fhe which can be whatever i want or whatever i am inspired to write about. I am supposed to meet with the family home evening leader and plan when and where we will be having fhe. Something funny about my particular group is that we have the only girl fhe leader and i am the only boy fhe instructor so me and my roommates are joking that she is the fhe dad and i am the fhe mom. but it doesn't matter because I'm sure it will be the same either way.
So yesterday was labor day and me and my roommates and a couple other people decided that we were going to hike to the top o y mountain. We started with a bunch of people, our group had 17 people in it and we hiked to the y then our little group headed to the top of the mountain, we had 7 people: Erick my roommate, J.j. in the room next to mine, Luke in the other room next to mine (we made a blog dedicated to him and the things that he says because he is hilarious this is at shippmates.wordpress.com if you want to check it out), Katie one of J.j.'s friends from Virginia and now she is part of the group we all hang out together to do stuff, Lorraine she is from our ward and she wanted to come and she is pretty cool, Weston he is in the apartment under ours and he wanted to go to, and then there was me. The way up was quite difficult because the trail was pretty steep i would say about a 20% grade, and also because the air was thin (i still haven't gotten used to being at 5,000 feet let alone hiking up 3,000 feet higher) either way the trail up was so beautiful you just look around and you are in awe of what actually is around where you live, it was almost surreal. When we got to the top we had lunch and we overlooked the whole Provo valley which was amazing, i will upload the pictures that i took just as soon as i get the Sim card for my camera when my mom sends it but it was beautiful. We built a 68 out of rocks because the 7 of us are all from the BYU 68th ward.
I was at the football game on Saturday, they were broadcasting it in the wilk, BYUSA sponsored it and there was free food and drinks and it was a great time. The whole atmosphere was amazing during the whole game, the room went crazy every time we scored, made a good stop, got a first down, made a good pass or run and basically the whole time, especially when Colbey Clawson dislocated Sam Bradford's shoulder, he was the Heisman trophy winner from last year so it was a good thing for us that he got injured or else i don't think we would have won. After the game the whole campus was alive with excitement. Our group decided that we were not going to stay in our apartment that night because we were all pumped from the game, we heard about this dance party that was happening at the Cannon Center so we got a bunch of people from our dorm buildings and we headed over there, it was a lot of fun and of course i was dancing with a lot of girls.
The work load in college is about the same as high school except there is way more reading to do and if you know me you know i don't like reading but in any case i do it anyways because i don't want to fall behind. Yes mom i am doing my homework before i go out and do all these fun things. That seems like it so i will write again next week so till then bye bye, GO COUGARS.
