DAY 7

Monday brings forth WOW moments!!

O bright and early wake up after a bit of a late Sunday night. And head to the Provo temple! Beautiful. It made my life being able to just stroll to the temple when ever I feel like it! Such a blessing!

After the temple I went shopping and man found some bargans! Levi jeans for $13, awesome t-shirt for $7 and a wicked jacket for $15. Life is sweet! Then I just went ot all the malls and had a bossy around of all the fun things you can sell and buy in America! Did that for ages and found food...somewhere at home! Ha lame and then came back to my flat and chilled until later that evening...

So I picked up a friend introducing "SHUM" that's her last name but she is from my mission. I picked her up and headed to Family Home Evening at a massive house on a hill over looking Provo...jealous!

There we met friends of other friends. We had a spiritual message and then we found our hidden talents of croquet. If you have no idea its the game that the Queen of hearts is playing in Alice and wonderland. Who knew it was so skillful. So the idea is to be the last ball standing after you have gone through the little arch things called wickets.

But when someone gets to the end, they yell out poison and can kill you by hitting their ball into your ball...death.

Sadly I lost...ah it being my first time but good game to all who played it!

Then headed inside for some yummy treats of Twinkies, grasshoppers and coconut chocolate things. All were good along with random tarts from a wedding. Nice.

Shum and I said our good byes and we headed to 7/11 where Shum scored a GIANT cup of slurp because she filled the wrong one up and looked to innocent for the man to say no! crack up!

So with our mixed flavors we headed to Salt Lake city where we encountered road works but because we had left over twinkles...it wasn't so bad.

Twinkie 1- black pick up has an open tray. Twinkie is handed to me and I do a spectacular loop throw landing the Twinkie in the back. Taa daa! The audience of two guys were able to confirm it landing into the tray and marveled at our execution of the said Twinkie 1.

Twinkie 2- traffic cones are slightly larger then ours in Australia nd they have a flat top to them giving them a great platform on which to perch items. Twinkie was handed to me and I made a gentle but tooo tough a throw making the said Twinkie land alittle over the top of the traffic cone. However street worker dude will be excited to find it not mushed.

Twinkie 3- was eaten. I know not as exciting as the other two but however Shum got great satisfaction.

So you think that road works are boring and time consuming. One example of how to spice up anything boring! So the moral of the story is to act innocent.

So we arrive at the salt lake temple around 11:30 pm and have the whole place to ourselves bar the security guards. Amazing at night it's just breath taking. It's beauty is one that cannot be matched annd yet it is towered by buildings all around it.

We took many photos and just felt the spirit of the temple. It always gets me that it took 40years to build it! Amazing!

So we headed back to Provo and we ended our night in our respective beds and homes having been uplifted and deified in all aspects of the words.

I cannot tell you how grateful I am to be here and for the opportunities I have had to learn and grow so much! I love this Gospel and am forever grateful for those who sacrificed so much so that I could have the it today!

Mondays do not have to be boring thus remembering the age old advice to do something crazy with your life.
