last weekend...


we celebrated the first day of fall with the youth, seeing as it was saturday which equals mutual... both of us felt so blessed after the day was over...


we were able to get almost every single one of our youth from the young mens and young womens to this activity... i would like to call it "super mutual"... first we planned on going to the temple to do baptisms for the dead, and since that is a hour an a half away we decided that we would take advantage of being in a bigger city with all the kids, so we planned on staying there and doing a few other activities...

the best part about the whole thing... the young women were in charge of this activity, and oh my goodness, friday night i was almost in tears... throughout the week before hand i had asked certain people if they could help us get to the temple with the use of their cars... but as i was calling to confirm the plan for saturday morning, i had a few kinks in our plan... at first not very happy... but soon i came to realize that this is a very righteous activity and that if i just pray, do everything i can possibly do and then just have faith, that it somehow would work out.... and it did, what a faith booster... we were able to get 22 youth to the temple! i was the happiest person alive! i loved being in the temple with them, i couldnt help but smile while watching them. it was wonderful!


after the temple we all went to costco for lunch! those kids can eat!!! between them and the adults that were there... 13 pizzas were consumed!
