Religion
I'm a member of the

The LDS church aims to serve
humankind, and part of my service has included a two-year mission to
northern Portugal. For our official mission website, click here. To

Sweet Summer Nights,
lyrics to a song about long-awaited love. Written while at BYU, but I
can't remember if it was before or after Tiraje and I started
dating.
A Hand to Hold,

started dating, yet the song was written with her in mind.
Dreaming,

but has since been revised.
A Promise,
written upon the death of my nephew, Jacob Travis Anderson.
