https://padlet.com/emailejh/bnnfbzzy000r Who I am and what makes me, me en-us 2016-08-31 05:11:18 UTC 2023-07-16 15:25:07 UTC hello@padlet.com emailejh https://padlet.com/emailejh/bnnfbzzy000r/wish/120749244 I was raised in the LDS Church, served a mission in Guatemala, and married my wife in the Salt Lake Temple. The Church and my belief in Jesus Christ are a large part of my culture and who I am, and as such, are very important to me. I don't believe that we are here by chance and I don't believe that this beautiful earth was created by a big bang. There is something more to this life and my beliefs keep me going when life gets me down. ]]> 2016-08-31 05:31:52 UTC https://padlet.com/emailejh/bnnfbzzy000r/wish/120749244 emailejh https://padlet.com/emailejh/bnnfbzzy000r/wish/120750644 Both of my grandfathers served in WWII, and my brother just got back from being deployed in Kuwait. We were raised to love our country and I consider myself a patriot. Being an American is a huge part of my culture. I like guns, I like fast food, I like my freedom and I think eagles are pretty cool ]]> 2016-08-31 05:43:57 UTC https://padlet.com/emailejh/bnnfbzzy000r/wish/120750644 emailejh https://padlet.com/emailejh/bnnfbzzy000r/wish/120751428 Biking is one of my favorite things to do. I have worked at a bike shop since I was 15 years old and since then it has been a source of joy and happiness for me. I love getting out into the beautiful mountains or taking a new road and pedaling as far as my legs will let me. Cycling has taught me that mind over matter isn't just a saying, but an actual fact: if you think you can, you can. ]]> 2016-08-31 05:58:33 UTC https://padlet.com/emailejh/bnnfbzzy000r/wish/120751428 emailejh https://padlet.com/emailejh/bnnfbzzy000r/wish/120751537 My dad taught me how to fly fish and ever since I caught my first fish I have been addicted. There is something amazing to me about catching a fish on a fly, holding him in your hands for a brief second, and letting him back into the water. I have a deep respect for fish and there are few things I enjoy more than getting out onto a stream and breathing the fresh mountain air. They say patience is a virtue, and fishing will definitely teach you that good things come to those who wait. ]]> 2016-08-31 06:00:57 UTC https://padlet.com/emailejh/bnnfbzzy000r/wish/120751537 emailejh https://padlet.com/emailejh/bnnfbzzy000r/wish/120752145 My wife and I love to travel and explore new places. Earlier this year we took a trip to Thailand with our friends and got to experience the amazing culture and people there. We are currently planning a trip to Europe next year and hope to visit somewhere new every year. I think that other cultures influence my own culture because I take from them what I like and apply it in my own life. ]]> 2016-08-31 06:12:33 UTC https://padlet.com/emailejh/bnnfbzzy000r/wish/120752145
