Not your typical Fast Sunday

So we decided to check out the student ward today. We would have loved to attend it at the very first, but the time was at 1:00, and that just wasn't going to work with Keenan. Nap time! Now that the weather has been nice, moms are out with the kids in the playground here, and so I have been getting to know them better. Juan has wanted to go for a while but today we checked it out! What a fun ward is all I have to say! I love the Bishop already! I had never really met our bishop in the last ward, but he had us and a few other people come into his office during Sunday school, just to hang out and get to know each other with a few others. Funny guy! In Relief society they passed around a calender for everyone, and about 3-4 days a week, they have some kind of enrichment actvity, whether it be a walking group, sewing, gardening, and whatever else they have! Just a lot of things going on. And they are almost all here at the apartments. So fun fun!


This is the best part! Good week to go there. Elder Bednar was there and spoke, along with his wife, President Clark from BYU-I, our stake president, and then thier wives also spoke, and the Bishop also. Elder Bednar talked about how this would probably never happen again to us, how there were three apostolic keys there. I think thats right. But it was great nevertheless. To be able to hear him bear his testimony and talk about his kids and how he remembers the time when he had little kids at BYU. Good times.


Another thing that struvk me, I took Keenan out at the very end, and I walked out, and straight out the doors the temple was in the same yard! Amazing! I cannot think of anywhere that I wanna be right now, then here! The experiences we are having here are once in a life time! I know I will miss this "era" in our lives and so we are soaking up everything there is to offer!

That is amazing. I truly miss BYU-I. You wish that stage away so fast but you have opportunities you would have never had. I'm excited you found the ward for you.
