**BEFORE READING THIS PLEASE GO TO THIS LINK AND LISTEN TO THIS SONG WHILST READING!!! AND MOST OF ALL ENJOY**
So back to filling you in on my life. Yesterday I met with the Bishop to turn in my papers. I gotta tell you I was so nervous! (back to the uncharted territory) I got to the Bishop's office and we went through the papers, and it went so smoothly it was great. I was really honored to read what the Bishop wrote about me too. I don't think he knew I was reading it, but I am so glad that I did. It really put my mind at ease about this HUGE step in my life. He wrote, "Phillip is a very outgoing and gregarious person. He is fun loving, and will do anything you ask him to do. He has been serving in our activities committee and has done a fantastic job. He is a natural born leader and will step up to the challenge. I give him my full recommendation without any reservations." After reading that I felt so much better about my decision to serve.
Lets see, what else has been going on. . . I've lost weight a lot actually. Its crazy and I feel so good about it. I met a girl and I kinda like her. . She knows too and she hasn't gone running away from me. So that's a pretty good sign. Oh! I have the most epic adventures with my friend Ben Stanley. Its funny I've only known him for a few months but it feels like we've been good friends for years! We just click. I love it when things like that happen, we get along really well so much that people have referred to us as "the couple" or him as my "boyfriend" and visa versa. It doesn't bother me though. I feel that every self respecting man has a bromance. Why not have a healthy one right? If I had to describe it, I would urge you watch scrubs. After seeing the way JD and Turk interact you'll understand haha. In fact watch the musical episode and skip to the "Guy Love" song. Nuff said.
Another thing that has happened that I feel is worth mentioning, Erin the manager of my apartment asked me to do something that I thought no one would ever ask me. She asked me if I could break open the safe in the office because her daughter Lucy, (who is quite possibly the cutest 21 month year old girl in the world) broke a key in the lock. So using a small set of precision screwdrivers, a paper clip, and with the help of Lucy, I got the key out and was able to pick the lock and insert the key into the other and get the safe open for Erin. It was pretty cool! Afterwards, I felt like a combination of Brad Pitt and George Clooney in the Oceans trilogy, and everyone said that watching those movies are a waste of time. I say NAY!
Other than these and the constant battle I have with zombies trying to infect me my life is pretty normal. For those of you who are reading this. I think you all are fantastic. I hope your day is going as great as mine :)

Life is what you make of it, and I have a hectic life! So this post may be a little jumpy and I apologize.
I love it though, and I wouldnt change it for anything. I am in such a blissful mood, some people would think its disgusting. I cant blame them usually im the one that thinks that. I can't help it, I started my Mission interviews and I'm listening to Sara Bareilles, who wouldnt be happy and see the positive in everything around them? I even have a Blog creeper! She isn't really a creep but my Really good friend Michelle! She is great, she's the reason I keep posting. So I guess y'all (or rather you Michelle) would like a detailed update of whats going on in my world. (Its really my world, you all just get to live in it) I guess the only way I can explain whats going on is to steal the lyrics to one of my favorite Sara songs, "Uncharted", "I'm going down, follow if you want, I won't just hang around, like you'll show me where to go, I'm already out of foolproof ideas, so don't ask me how to get started, it's all uncharted..." I'm pretty sure this song is about a girl getting over a break up but to me it has a different meaning. As I have turned my life into the direction that I wanted it to go in, I.E. going on a mission, changing the way I view the world, refusing to accept negativity I realize this is uncharted territory, I never really had the example of going on a mission, or being a very active member. In fact, I didn't really commit to serving one until I moved down here, and was able to see the difference in people. As I look back on my life, how I once was, I am truly amazed to see the growth I have had. I guess I have been going down through "uncharted" territory for a while now. I couldn't be happier with the choices I have made either. I look forward to the future. I wonder it has in store for me. I can't wait to take that leap.
