The humidity today is out of control! This information was taken at 3pm EST today. I miss Utah, I miss the dry heat, I miss the mountains, I miss the abundance of LDS people, I miss my "new family", I miss my friends, I miss people's manners, I miss not smelling cigarette smoke everywhere, and I miss having the option to go to the temple.

I'm not complaining...I'm just sayin
Don't get me wrong, I love my house, my animals, my new missionary roommates, my family and my friends here in Cleveland. But I do believe that I left my heart in Utah.

This is the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. I went to the open house and it was amazing inside!!!
The angel Moroni is on top of most of our temples. This angel got struck by lightning.

A group of us from the singles ward went into Salt Lake City to see Testaments. Awesome movie! We had such a great time!

This is Desi. She is the horse that I got to ride! I am a cowgirl at heart!

Ahhh, home.

Pure Entertainment

Here's an update on what I have been doing the past few days.......

Emalee and I drove to Provo, UT to go see the BYU's main campus. It is HUMONGOUS!!

Out here in the mountains, the cities and college campuses paint the mountain sides with letters that represent the town. This Y stands for the BYU campus.

In Provo Utah, there is also the MTC, where all the missionaries go learn how to preach the gospel. I wanted to go in, but I guess the Swine Flu was going around inside, so I only got to see the outside! OH BOY!


This is the Provo Utah Temple. So incredibly beautiful.

This is Sister McNeill's BFF here in Grantsville. Her name is Rachael and she picked me up last Sunday for the Singles Ward in Tooele. We instantly hit it off and had loads of fun together! If you are wondering how to pronounce Tooele...it's not Too-elle....its Too-illa. I find it amusing! And the people out here say I have an accent! sheesh!

LOL. This is what happens when a little bit of rain hits the desert... Widespread Panic!

Last night, the Sisters from the Relief Society held a luau. It was loads of fun!

LOL. Ok. The three of us were trying to take a self portrait with my camera...Teresa and I unknowingly smooshed Emalee's head while trying to fit into the picture! Ouch! Sorry EM! lol too funny!

At the Luau, we had a hula hoop contest. No, I didn't win but I had a blast hula hooping with my neck!

I still have another week of adventure here in Grantsville Utah, so keep checking back for updates on my fun vacation!!!!!!

Hangin out with a R.M.

Yesterday, I met up with Michael Bergeson in Temple Square. We got to go do baptisms in the Salt Lake Temple. We did all kinds of touristy stuff. We toured the conference center, the church headquarters building and the visitor centers. We also drove to the top of Zions peak-unfortunately it was raining, so no pics :( This picture is taken on the roof of the conference center. It was a good day!
