Why you wanna call the cops brah?
Hey guys, life has just been super busy these last few days. So like Nate said, I got flown down to California this past weekend to have 2nd round interviews with Ernst and Young (one of the big 4 accounting firms). My parents picked me up frideyyy and we went to the Ducks vs. Sharks game. It was quite a boring game and ended 1-0 Ducks. Chilled with Dave the next day, went to Peonys together on Doug, watched the BYU football game, then watched the Kings game at Dave's with Brad Wise too. Ended up going in the hot tub with just Dave and I cuz Yustin was down in San Diego that night. I would've come up to Nates baby blessing deal, but I had to go down to San Diego on Sunday and go eat with this guy from Ernst and Young. Sorry Nate :(
Anyways my interviews went way good. I had 3 interviews back to back to back. 2 45 min behavioral interviews, then a 45 minute business case analysis interview. Then got taken to a dope lunch. Ended with a 45 minute writing assessment deal. Got my set packed up and flew back to Salt Lake that night.
Yesterday I got a call from the office. They loved me and extended me an offer for an internship next summer! I'm freaking stoked on life right now. So after I do that internship, I should get a full time job offer and start with them the next year after I graduate. Prolly good to work in La Jolla (the office is literally down the street from the temple).
Sorry for the long post but thats whats been going down lately. Love you guys and stoked to have California as home in my near future!!

Email Chatted with Yoe the other night
It was mediocre. Just tried to trunk him out as much as I could. Went on a date, check out the details on my personal blog, paulclonts.blogspot.com. Don't judge the Salsa dancing till you've seen me in action with some chicks...good looking ones too!! I've been surfing like 3-4 times a week which is awesome. I'm super burnt out on school, but i'll just keep truckin along. Some drama went down with one of my friends, basically he hooked up with my other good friend's girlfriend then tried to hook up with my other friends ex gear, and more gay crap, so I pretty much friend dumped him (not literally, I just don't talk or text him anymore). So I just hate drama these days. How about an update from Ryan and Matt and Jeffe on the paperwork.

surj avsan um
We had a cool discussion this week in institute (for my BYU class) about the different ways God responds to our distress calls when we're in the midst of tribulation and affliction. Jack (my father in law who happens to be teaching the class) played a clip from The Other Side of Heaven; when Groberg and his two polly counselors get drilled and shipwrecked by the storm. After they finally swim to shore, one of his counselors says, "Sometimes the Lord calms the storm, and sometimes he calms the sailor." And he says, "Ans sometimes he just lets us swim."
So here we have 3 ways the Lord deals with our afflictions. Sometimes He answers our prayers immediately and takes away the affliction all together. Other times He helps us through it by strengthening us and/or lightening our burden a bit. And other times He just lets us swim because there is something we need to learn, or some character trait that we need to develop (patience, humility, etc.)
My personal epiphany was that the word "swim" implies directionality, unlike treading water. We are given afflictions that we may become better as we emerge from them, but we have to press forward and maintain that directionality. If tread water for too long and let our trials consume us, we eventually get tired and drown in the water of our afflictions. So, from now on, when I am experiencing the trials that will surely come, i will ask myself, am i swimming or just treading water?
Just thought I'd share....sorry for the length.
