My sister is in Guatemala and took this picture. Amazing how life seems to be during events such as this. When you could be facing the end of your life — or the possibility. Such that she took a picture when she was much closer a few weeks [...]

I have found a site that has several LDS Portuguese Hymns. I would love to find something that contains all the Brazilian Portuguese hymns for Latter-Day Saints. It brings back strong and good memories of my mission in the Brazil, Londrina Mission. What a wonderful time of life? Striving to do what is right and [...]

blip.tv (beta)
If you are interested in hosting media files (Both WMA and QT files) this is an excellent free service that I have found to be very useful. It also is pretty clean, thus far from what I have seen. Don’t quote me 100%.

This seems like it might make AOL interesting again. I have had a bad taste in my mouth for awhile with AOL, but I love Google. I have also been really loving the Firefox 1.5 web browswer. Anyone that hasn’t switched from IE to firefox is really missing an opportunity for more excellent web browsing. [...]
