DAY 5 : "The Wedding"

Indeed as the title suggests it was indeed the day of Megans wedding one of my main reasons for going to USA!!!

So Anna and I woke up early which we didn't have to do because there was NO traffic at all! We drove to Bountiful temple which was about 45 mins away. It is huge and beautiul. Amazing and gorgeous on the outside! And ornate on the inside!

At the reception representing ABM was President and Sister Richards who were our old mission president and wife, Sister Bassett and Sister Karren. It was the ABM reunion! The best way to have one! I Goya it teared up in the sealing but the best part is that they are sealed for all time and eternity!!wow

We had photos taken and then had lunch at the cafe rio which was awesome but i had to get sister Karren to translate what the guy was asking me! I felt silly but the food was so worth it! I love it! I want Mexican every day!

Mexican to farmington to sister bassets house was the best. We got changed and saw her farm and I got to ride in the back of her pick up! That was the moment I was American! I know amazing! I loved it having the wind blow through my hair and grass seeds attack me...random as! It made me appreciate the massive cars that own Americas high ways!

From sister Bassett house we went to Touch which was the second ABM reunion with the former elders of our mission! We played touch in the heat just like old times. Drank peachee which was an American rip off and totally doesn't taste like the real deal, none the less refreshing! We had a classic Australian cd that was really bad but had the Australian sound to our arvo!

After photos were taken and numbers exchanged we parted our separate ways. Us sisters went to a burger place and got soda hehehe which was massive and $2 love it! Peach flavored fanta was the drink of choice keeping with the peach theme which strangely enough was Megans brides maids skirt colors. Ha peach day it was. So we hung out for a bit and then, headed to draper to sister liangs pad!

Got changed talked had a nap and then headed to my first Mormom wedding other then my uncles when was a flower girl. We arrived and got to sign a book and then take photos of ourselves on the iMac ah ingenious and then stand in a line to great the bride and groom and the rentals of both. Then move onto the food yum! And then have fun chilling with the garden gnomes...I'm friends with them...

The caravan of sisters then travelled to see the fireworks at the house of president and sister Richards. Arrived a tad bit late and lost but found it in the end! It was the best time sitting on the soft and killer ant free grass watching fireworks go off! The best! Its amazing how a mission can help you have amazing friendships that will last into the eternities!
We parted our ways at the Richards house. Parting is such sweet sorrow! Shakespear was right!

Our night ended the same way it began so many moons ago. It was a day full of new relationships and building old ones. I am so grateful I was able to serve a mission for the Lord and to represent Him and His church, helping so many people learn that life is a time to prepare. Forever love and marriages do happen and are central to Heavenly Fathers plan. Friends don't just happen now they last for ever!

Its true so do something crazy with your life today!
