I apologize—I really wanted to write a Christmas edition. However, this was impossible because of the busy holidays, work, and school. Please forgive me for breaking my promise.
First, what is Christmas like in America? Food, “Santa Claus”, family-time, stockings filled with candy over the fireplace, and presents.
Second, what is happening in America? In Utah? And with the LDS church?
In America, Mitt Romney is winning many debates for the presidential campaign. He is a Republican, a Mormon, and his father was born and raised in Mexico. Some of his family still lives in Mexico. Many Latinos love him in America. They helped him win in Florida. Interesting fact: his son speaks Spanish.
Here is a Romney campaign ad in Spanish: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6PYDh6Wgts.
Here is another Romney campaign ad in Spanish. I believe it says something about Gingrich, one of Romney’s opponents, saying that Spanish is the language of the ghetto: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1_taR9pl5s. I do not support Gingrich.
Here is a radio broadcast in Spanish about Romney. He will better the economy. He will stand up against the regimes of the Castro brothers. Also, he is the only candidate who can take on Obama: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDcabgXitRQ
Note: I do not support Mitt Romney because he is Mormon. I support him because he is a good politician who can do good change—and who will keep his promises.
On Politics, I am interested in Vazquez Mota—please, my readers, tell me more about her. Is she the future first president of Mexico? Will she be a good candidate? Why?
In Utah, it has been all about the Powell family drama. I say “drama” respectively. Susan Powell went missing. Her husband, Josh Powell, was the suspect. Sunday, Josh Powell exploded his house. This action killed him and his two sons. This event took place in Washington but they are a family from Utah. On Sunday night in Salt Lake City a candlelight vigil was held in honor of the boys.
On the LDS church:
The church is campaigning hard—nor for politics. They campaign only to give inspiration and to guide people to the church. The “I’m a Mormon” media campaign is done through youtube videos and billboards. It focusses on Mormons being “normal”. In America, people do not see Mormons as normal. Note: many people will not vote for Romney because he is a Mormon. It is sad that we live in a day where we will not vote for someone because of our discriminative thinking.
The big question among Mormons in Utah and in America has been “Am I ready for a Mormon president?” It is just like the most recent American question which is “Are we ready for a Mormon president?”
Big LDS news:
Jimmer, the legendary BYU basketball player, is doing good for his first year in the big leagues. However, he missed the last shot of the game verses the Utah Jazz. If he had made it, the Utah Jazz and the Sacramento Kings (Jimmer’s team) would have had a tied score. Jimmer’s followers still applauded him. This could only happen in Utah.
David Archuleta, an American Mormon singing celebrity from Utah, is on his mission. Rumor is that he could be sent to Chile.
The following is a quote from The Salt Lake Tribune (http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/entertainment/53155306-81/archuleta-mission-2010-feeling.html.csp)
"It’s not because somebody told me that I was supposed to do it, not because that I no longer want to do music anymore, but it’s because it’s the feeling that I felt that I need to do next in my life," Archuleta, who turns 21 next Wednesday, told his audience during his encore. "It’s just the same feeling that I’ve always followed, tried to follow in my life. It’s the feeling that has allowed me to have the opportunities that I’ve had, the challenges that I’ve overcome and the blessings, too. And I’ve learned to trust that feeling, and I’ve learned that I need to answer when it calls. And that is the reason why I know I need to do this in my life."
Questions will arise about where Archuleta will serve his mission. Will he be sent to Paris, like Elizabeth Smart and Mitt Romney? Or maybe Australia, like Shawn Bradley? Or some safe, remote corner of the world that never heard of "American Idol"?”
“American Idol” is the popular television singing competition that gave Archuleta his fame.
Ending note: People of the world—Mormons of the world—stand strong, be united, and remember who you are.
