BYU Freshman Orientation!
Eric and I are doing orientation at BYU. We are the group leaders for a list of about 30 freshman and are very excited to help them out. We both love BYU, this place is very unique. BYU is known for being inexpensive and to many it may seem like they are stingy with scholarships. What most people don’t know is that the LDS church subsidizes each student’s tuition to the tune of about 70% with tithing funds from the church (that’s volunteer donations given to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) and BYU’s Provo campus is the third largest recipient of tithing funds of anything in the church. #1-Temples and meetinghouses, #2-Missionary Work, #3-BYU.
We had training today, good times. We found some interesting name tag fun:

Hey there is a super nice kid from my ward named Brandon Henson that is a freshman at BYU this year. I know it is a long shot but if you happen to meet him, tell him I said Hi! Oh and he might not be that hard to pick out, he is black, tall and skinny. =)
