Favorite subject? Do I have to choose just one? I find science fascinating. And history, too. And computers, electronics, refuge systems... It's too hard to choose!
Secret crush? *blushes* Do I have to answer that? Well, I think Hannah is pretty special. She doesn't really notice me, though.
Hobbies? Learning new stuff, reading. I play the piano a little. Nothing like Hannah can, though. She's amazing.
Favorite book? I've read so many! I'll say The Lord of the Rings.
Secret dream? Well, this is really weird, considering I live underground, but I've always dreamed of flying. Maybe even being a fighter pilot. Don't think it's going to happen, though. I'd also love to fly in outer space. I'd love to see the world and be able to study it all in person.

Most prized possession? My locket. It has a picture of my parents in it and one of my older brother, Caleb. I've never met them, but they gave their lives for me. It's the only thing I have from them.
Best friend? My roommate, McKenzie Larson. We've been best friends practically since birth!
Hobbies? Singing, playing piano and organ. Pretty much anything to do with music. My favorite music is anything by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. I wish I could have heard them sing in person.
Favorite book? Hmmm. I guess Anne of Green Gables.
Most memorable event? So far, my most memorable event was the day I got baptized when I turned eight. Bishop Carrier baptized me. It was nice. That's the day that Sister Thayer--she's kind of my foster mom--gave me the locket from my mother.

Favorite food? I like popcorn and fresh cream. But not together. I like strawberries too. And goat cheese is delicious!
Funniest memory? Okay, this one time Hannah and I and a couple of other girls went swimming in the waste reclamation tanks. It was so gross. They are full of algae! But we couldn't stop laughing the whole time. The leaders got plenty mad at us for that. Hahaha. Thanks for reminding me of it. I needed the laugh.
Hobbies? Sewing, I guess. Hanging out with my friends. I'm not really talented like Hannah is.
Favorite book? Little House on the Prairie.
Secret dream? Oh, I don't know. I don't think I have one. Maybe it's to be a mother someday. I never met my mother. I wonder what she was like. I wonder if she'd be proud of me. Does that count as a dream?

Most memorable event? I have two. The first is when Toovuts, the great wolf, appeared to me in the sacred cave when I was twenty. He taught me how to live like my ancestors and hide from the invaders and their watchers. The second is the day I married my wife, Beth. That was also in the sacred cave and Toovuts was present then as well.
Most anticipated event? I will soon become a father for the first time. After so many years, this is truly a miraculous and welcome event.
Favorite book? Books? That's one thing we lack down here in the mine. In place of books, we Nengwoonts'eng tell each other stories. We sing together a lot too. My favorite stories are the ones that my parents used to tell me about Coyote (Soonungwuv).
Hobbies? Hunting, fishing, (these are more survival skills than hobbies), singing, playing my drum, telling stories.
Biggest fear? Losing the Nengwoonts'eng to the watchers. I would do anything to keep my people safe.

Favorite thing about being a bishop? When members of my little flock come to me for counsel and advice. I love them all so much. I'm glad they trust me to help them through hard times. I am grateful for the Lord's grace to give me the strength I need to be the bishop.
Favorite food? Fresh, homemade bread with lots of butter. Two things that used to be favorites that we don't have down here in the refuge are fresh fish and chocolate cake. Our small cocoa supply ran out a long time ago.
Favorite book? The Book of Mormon.
Hobbies? Fly fishing was my hobby before the invasion. Oh, how I miss it. Now, I enjoy reading and watching old movies.
Best piece of advice? "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." (Proverbs 3: 5-6)
