Utah has been an amazing trip so far

On Saturday I went and had lunch with a former missionary and his wife. His wife is so nice and they are a very cute couple. This is the Elder I used to call dude. He is an awesome friend and person. We had our picture taken with the Red Robin. Then from there Amy Sue, Tammy and I went to Temple Square in Salt Lake City. It is an amazing place to visit. I love all the flowers and just all the sites. The conference center has a waterfall built into the front it was amazing to see. Then from temple square we went and dropped Tammy off and then went over to Layton to the mall to go to deseret books and I also got a BYU shirt. It's pretty sweet. Then Amy Sue and I just hung around. Sunday I went to church with Amy Sue and I love single wards (yes I said ward and not branch). I kind of have a crush on one of the guys I met. He is very nice and funny. Then Amy Sue after church brought me over to Nathan's family. I met his mom, dad, sister, and two cousins. After dinner we drove up one of the canyons and I got to hold snow in may. It was fun. Monday I spent the day with Michelle (one of the cousins). We went to temple square and just hung out. It was awesome. Janet and I helped Michelle pack up her car and she went to Provo. Janet (Nathan's mom) and I went to the National History musuem and saw the frog exhibit. It was awesome. I also got to see where the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympics were. Then she, Gary (nathan's dad) and I had dinner and just kind of chilled. Although she took me to a place like Dairy Queen called Shivers (it was awesome). Tues I hung out in the morning and Josh Pappas (he served in the Single's branch back home) went to a bird type zoo thing which was fun. We also went out for Greek food (it was amazing). When I got back I hung out with Nathan's Sister Emily. We went to another deseret books (and I bought a piano book with what my grandma had given me for vacation she is the one who taught to play piano). After there we drove to the great salt lake and that was fun. Then we drove to two temples and got pictures. Weds I went all day to temple square and just walked around. It was fun. I got to hear an organ recital in the tabernacle and that was truly amazing. Weds evening I had dinner with Jason and Melissa Anderson. Jason was a missionary from the Wooster Ward in 2006 when I had moved to wooster. He was an awesome support during that time. It was great to meet his wife too. She is an awesome person. Thurs I hung out at the house and then hung out with Kyle Robison. Kyle serve in Wooster in 2006 too in the later summer/early fall. We went to Park City which is where the bobsled took place at the Olympics. We just walked around and ate. It has truely been amazing to see all these old friends and to meet new ones. I am falling in love with Utah more and more every day. After I get home I will try to post about the rest of my trip and post some pics. I have decided God gives you many oppurtunities and sometimes you have to take them.
