Sixth Ward Summer Activity

Oh Baby Blue!!!
Elisa Tittle, McKinzie Mower and I all drove up to Logan together. This was a super great bonding experience. I love those 2 girls so very much. We had a super great time on the drives. So our first stop was the Oqquirh Mountain Utah Temple Open House. That was exactly what I needed that day. The day previous I was informed that my friend's father was murdered and that upset me. I was only praying to know what to do about this problem and I realized that I needed to share the gospel but this was not until after I had already walked through the temple and was flooded with emotions and the spirit that I remembered from the day that my family was sealed in the temple on May 2nd 1996. That was the greatest day of my life. Although I do not remember that day in clarity I remember the spirit I felt there and the emotions it just took that visit to the Oqquirh Mountain temple to remember it all. Well from there we headed up to Wellsville Utah. Okay so there really is not very much there but it was a lot of fun to hang out with the other girls. Friday we had a morningside at the gravesite of Martin Harris and it was great. Then after that we headed to Hyrum Reservoir and played on the water. So to understand the next part of this story you need to know that it was predicted to rain non stop all weekend long. So we all prayed for nice weather so that we can go boating. GUESS WHAT!!! It didn't rain and we went and played on the water but because of the predicted rain I did not bring sunscreen so I borrowed somebody's and I applied it not so liberally. Well, after all the fun in the water and the falling and the laughing I got totally sunburned. Well I didn't just get a normal sunburn I was totally strawberry red and my thighs were purple. I was in A LOT of pain all night and the next and the next nights! I was pretty miserable but it was so worth it. So after that we had a group dinner and a variety show and speakers and it was a great end to a great day. Then after on Saturday we had a service project and we did yard work for our gracious hosts the Schill Family. The results were fantastic! Then cleaned up and I sent my passengers home in another car and I headed for Logan to see my dearest roommate from DC, Erin Cottle. Then I started EFY on Monday!
