DAY 14

Begin my morning as usual, pray, shower ,dress, eat, clean. Ok so not all of my wonderful mornings areas delicious as this but you know what I like mornings great things are planned.

I finished cleaning Megans apartment! A SHOUT OUT to MEGAN for letting me stay at her house I love her and hope she's rocking it out in Boston!!

So I had to drop a few things off to her sister so she came around. We signed the forms and then headed home but it was about lunch time and my good old friend Panda Express needed some company. We delighted him with our hungry stomachs. Panda express is like the heaven of Chinese food. I love it so much! I had orange chicken and kangpow chicken. Yip I had seen it on movies and so I tried it. Not bad actually had bait of a pow to it but you just had to avoid the giant chill is and bobs your uncle!

So after Miranda (Megans little sister) and I finished our lunch we headed over to her shooed and I said my farewells and began my drive to Orderville. Check it out on the map boy!

So the history of Orderville...it's about 4 hours drive south of Provo and is pretty. Orderville was settled in the 1870's by 30 pioneer families who were members of thenChurch of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. So pretty much everyone here is a Mormon.

In 1847 a law was given called the United Order where men and women would work and give their goods to God and then according to the needs of each family or individual they would distribute the goods. Orderville was called such because this town was named aver the united order. This law would only work if all were united and willing to live a higher law. The Town would gater together to eat Breakfast, lunch and dinner in the towns eating hall.
Interesting tonote all of the houses in Orderville at the time of the united order were built the same and all turned into the main town center. This was in retrospect to stop any jealousy or competent whilst trying to live a higher law of sharing.

Their dress was all hand made and woven materials from the animals that they raised. I guess kinda like the at armish but Not in a way. But this clothing wasn't always attractive. History says that one boy really wanted a pair of Levi jeans. Because of this he saved up the wool from the sheeps tails and sold it to buy himself a pair of jeans. When he came back to Orderville wearing his pants the Bishop told the boy the pants belonged to the united order and that a pattern will be made so that all could have a pair. It was the beginning of the Pants Rebellion. From that one instant the United order began to fall apart and each individual wanted his own and to keep it. Eventually the eutopitc lifestyle fell apart and thus the end of the United order.

Well that is just a bit of th town that I stayed in with Anna and her family. More to come on our adventures but the rest of Monday was just chilling that was the crazy part...not doing anything ha but the next days jam packed!!

Do something crazy with your life
