Utah trip.

Hey everybody, i went to Utah this past weekend. I was there for 5 days. Where to start...Wednesday the 28th around 830pm. I get a phone call asking if I could meet with the stake president A.S.A.P. As i drove to church, i had a feeling of what it was gonna to be about. I need to lose more weight so i can get called to serve a mission. I felt happy and excited because i know i can do this with the help of the Lord. 1 Nephi 3:7...I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them.
After our talk, I went to play indoor soccer, came home, showered and jump into my really cool rental car. 1230am here i am on my way to Utah. I was excited to vist friends and attend General Conference.
Thurday 1230pm. I arrive to my religious Mother land...Utah!I stayed in Sandy with an old friend of mine. Thursday and Friday were just about hanging out with friends.
Saturday morning rolled around and I had a ticket to Attend the morning session. I was sooo stoked! I get to see the prophet and apostles and hear their messages in person. The spirit there was soo amazing! The words from our church leaders are definitely inspired!
After Conference, I was very excited too meet up with my friends Kara, Lauren, Amy and Amy's cousin Nataly!
We went back to Kara's house. Thats when I meet the nicest family on earth!
We watched the second session of conference there and hung out for a bit. After the girls left it was just me with the Van De Graaff family. I met Kara's sister, Chelise. She took me on a photo shoot. lol (pictures coming soon) I am happy that I had the oppertunity to meet and to get to know the family. All soo beautiful.
Later that evening, i went to the priest hood session of General conference with the VDG brothers and father. I heard the things i needed to hear in that session to remember why it was inportant to serve a mission and how to keep strong and diligent in my efforts for weight loss. After all, it is for a righteous purpose and i know im not alone in this.
Sunday came around and I went to the VGD home again to watch conference and Sunday dinner. It was beautiful to feel and see the love they have for eachother and it was fun watching the children play. How i wish i could be 7 years old again! I was always very exited to wear my new Ninja Turtle underwear!haha my favorite part of the night was eating dinner while talking about conference and the evening walk.
Later that night, i went back to visit with the Mendoza family. After i arrived, my friend Angel proposed to his girlfriend and well... i'll be going back to Utah in 2 month for the wedding.
Monday morning came around and it was time for me to hit the road again. Before i left, Chelise and I went to the Salt Lake temple. It is sooo beautiful inside and out. Everything hand made/carved. no wonder it took 40 years to build. After, Chelise and I took some pictures and I walked around temple aquare, bought some things and started the drive home.
i'll find out how to post pictures soon!
So here i am home from my trip. i brought a little bit of Utah with me. By that I mean, I caught a flu bug or something. I spent all night hugging the toilet. We became good friends! I found out what his name is. Tom.
Thats it for now. I want to work out and I should but i'm still not feeling very well. Tomorrow FO SHO!
