Well hello again! Another week has passed. It still feels crazy. I wish that if I dig my ankles into the ground time will slow down but unfortunately that’s not how it works. 


Switchpoint concert! 

While we were at the soup kitchen on Wednesday there was a concert of sorts. This country singer named Steven Cade came and sang in the parking lot. He wasn’t too bad. It was fun to listen to it while we were making food and stocking the pantry. He actually came into the pantry and me and a couple of the elders were trying to stay out of the way of the camera but others could care less. 


Guess he was doing some kind of charity thing. At least that’s what I gathered from what I heard. I heard something about them giving a guitar to one of the Switchpoint residents. It’s good to see people who still care. 


Arches National Park! 

Half of this week I’ve been MIA because we went to our Arches trip. We’ve been planning this for a while now and I’d say it was pretty fun. I had to take it kind of easy because of my bad knee but it was still good. It’s too bad my knee hasn’t forgiven me for going on the Delicate Arch hike. That one was a doozy but it was worth it. I feel like everyone who has it on their license plate has to see it at least once. 


Jeep Tour! 

So, a little crazy story. So, while we were at Arches we went on a tour with Mild to Wild. They took us in a jeep and we saw some things we wouldn’t have been able to get to in the car we rented. One of which was a wind cave of sorts. Although it was really a pile of rocks. It was kind of cool. But on the way back we were stopped because someone’s jeep was on fire in the middle of the road. I’d say it was a tender mercy that everyone got out and no one was hurt. So that way we could watch it burn without feeling too bad. It was likely a bad day for the owner of said jeep but hey, it was kind of cool to look at.


Well, I’ve only got a few of these left! It’s crazy. Well, if you’ve heard of Steven Cade let me know because Wednesday was the first I’ve ever heard of him. And I guess you’ll hear from me next time!

More At The Temple Open House!!

Image
Hello everyone! I’m back again with another email. I’m sending this on time today! Woohoo!! This one’s going to be short but I think it is something I should share nevertheless.  Open House!  I’ve really enjoyed my time at the Red Cliffs Temple so far. I get to help these people who otherwise wouldn’t be able to walk around the temple at all. It makes me feel like I have an important job even though most of the time I just write numbers on a clipboard. I got to take a few people in myself and I love how they become silent in reverent wonder at the beauty of it all. It really tells me that the spirit is definitely there and I can feel it too!  Pushing Grandpa I helped Grandpa Reynolds in a wheelchair. I’m not a jerk I swear. XD That was a fun experience that I was able to look at it with my family. I’ve been through the tour a bunch of times but It’s different when you’re with your family. Even my little brothers were using inside voices! I didn’t know they knew what that ...

I Love Conference

Image
Hi! As I’m sure you know, General Conference was this weekend. I’ve been so excited about it and it certainly didn't disappoint. Everyone did an excellent job and the spirit was present. I loved them all. I really need to look back and study them again. I forgot who did what ones but there was a couple I really liked in the Saturday sessions about being peacemakers. How despite the world around us we can still show the love of god. Actually, I think one of them was from Elder Oaks. He did fantastic.  I also loved that Brad Wilcox spoke this afternoon. He is one of my favorite speakers. He also did one of the most listened to BYU devotionals ‘his grace is sufficient’. It’s so good and so was the talk he did today. I love how he said you can’t be a lifeguard if you look like all the other swimmers. Inspiring.  I’d like to share a little tender mercy that was a couple of weeks ago. I was going to the temple with my district in the St George temple. We were doing an endowment ...

Hi Again Everyone!

Image
I am back at it again this week! With yet another email. I know it’s late, but I almost forgot and I was saved by Mom threatening to beat me with a wet noodle. So I didn’t forget and as I’m writing this I’m keeping an eye on all the pasta. And Mom. She’s looking at me very ominously across the table.  Zone Conference!  As I mentioned last week, I had Zone Conference! On Monday we met at basically in the same time and same place as District Council, but it was longer and with more people. I can now say I have officially met my new Mission president! President Staples and his wife are sweet. I got a picture with them.  Temple Trips! And no, not just to the Red Cliffs one. Me and my Companion Sister Amy did some Initiatories in the newly Re-dedicated St. George temple. They remodeled it like they had it originally in the pioneer days, and they used rich colors and beautiful curtains. I love it! After we did the ordinances a temple worker asked us if we’d like to see the sea...
