DAY 16

Wednesday

Welcome to Grand Canyon. Not yet but today was our day to drive to Arizona and check out the natural wonder of the world.

But we had to drive back to Bryce canyon to see if anyone had found my wallet. I'd had that night so many dreams about going home and only this time it wasn't as scary as having them on the mission. I was just going with what the Lord had in store for me. I wanted my wallet back but if I don't find it well...such is life.

So the drive was shorter this time and my stress levels...could have been cured with some more shooting but I pretty much ran to the visitors center I don't think Anna stopped the car but I went in had to wait and then braced myself for the verdict...home or USA?

I thought about how I would have more money, if I left home early how I could buy that house...ha dreaming! But the nice man at the desk looked excited when I told him I had lost my wallet. 

Describing my wallet is easy, it's green with flowers and has Kathmandu on it. The man asked wher ei lost it and I told him at the general store. He then opened a cupboard and gave me a piece of paper that had...the description of my wallet on it. He said he'd be back. Longest wait of my lfe! And he walked through those doors holding my wallet. If the bench thing hadnt of been there I would have hugged that man till his eyes poped out! He was the best thing I had seen. My wallet I love it! And immediately separated my credit cards and hugged it.

I know Heavenly Father answers prayers. He has a plan for us and I guess my plan was to stay here in USA for just a little bit longer.

We drove back to Orderville and the smile was still on my face. How excellent! We plucked up Si and Brandon friends of Anna who are legendary and we drove to the Grand Canyon.

It took us a bit and we got there at about, 1pm not bad. I think one word sums the Grand Canyon up. HUGE you look for miles and miles and it just keeps on going. 

We did some sight seeing walks around the main part and went to the visitors center and then headed further north up the canyon to some ancient American ruin. Lol ha.

The ruins were of their old houses and where made of stone. It was pretty neat. In the summer they would live at the top of the canyon and then in the winter they would live in the bottom of the canyon. Interesting how they would have made it cause heck it's steep.

We then went to the famous rock I think called Angels window where we took some sweet shots with Brandons camera.

It was fun and there was a cloud out on the canyon whic had a shadow of a t-Rex dinosaur ha so cool. It's a beautiful place and full of some amazing views. You feel small when you look at the grand wonders of this world. I think Heavenly Father made them so that we can be reminded that ere are bigger things out there!

We headed back to our little home town Orderville ready for movies and peach cobbler. AMAZING!

So institute was held at the seminary building only for like 30mins and then with the glory of peach cobbler which was made by Boots his nickname I honestly can't remember his first name but he served in hawaii on his mission! Love it! And love his peach cobbler!

Then the movie was up at the little legue field with a projector, white sheet and a laptop and speakers. BET! We watched source code which if you don't think about ti s a mad movie but if you do then its dumb. Just watch and let your brain be mystified!

At one point I think a bat fly across the screen. We were sitting outside on camping chairs. The best! Ever stars above us and cool air! Love Orderville!

That was that. Wednesday was my day for miracles and emmense gratitude for my Heavenly Father. Not only for answering my prayers but for creating such beautiful things so that we Can be reminded of Him. So remember to do something crazy with your life and don't loose your wallet!
