A Very Brief Update :)

Hello all! It's nice to get a chance to give a brief update on my blog.
Life has been well here in the Dominican republic and I just completed two years here.

Will I ever return to China? I'm still not sure but the desire is definitely still there. I still want to give a good amount of commitment to my current congregation here, but who knows what the future will bring.

Just yesterday I accomplished twelve years regular pioneering and also turned 30. It was good to know that with Jehovah's help I was able to spend all of my twenties in full-time service.

Growing up, I often heard talks or parts in the meetings where they said that doing your best and a life in the full-time service is the most rewarding life there is. Now I can finally look back and see that not only was I able to have a lot of spiritual blessings, I was also able to travel the world, see many countries, write lots of music, live in two different countries and make amazing good friends. I've had a great last decade in so many ways, and the best experiences are due to the organization and spiritual family that we have because of Jehovah.

When I was twenty, I was looking up at the next decade with faith that putting Jehovah first was the best thing to do and would give good results. Now I can look back down at the completed last decade and see from the results that that faith was not ill-founded.

For blog posts in this new service year I will still try to focus on making spiritually themed creative projects, although of course I will not necessarily limit myself only to that.
A few of my friends have requested I post more music. I'm flattered to hear that they feel that way. I'm especially surprised and happy about the success of my "The Best Life Ever" video which has received over 2000 views, and from all across the world!

I will try to focus a little bit more on writing, music and photography projects for this blog as I have over the past year.

We've always had the truth, but since they JW.org era it has also never been more fun to be a witness. The line between biblical or spiritual study and recreation is becoming a little bit more blurred as people make spiritually themed projects that are as thought provoking as they are entertaining as well. Is my hope that my posts will not only be entertaining to you but also inspire you to do spiritually and creative projects of your own and share them with others.

Hope you all have a wonderful new service year and are able to accomplish your goals.
See you around and take care. :)
