Well I had my very first Sunday up here in Logan, Utah! I am so used to being in my home ward back in Castle Rock, so I was a little bit skeptical about what my ward and stake would be like. Luckily being in Utah means there is a church on every street you walk down! I was so excited when I saw where my dorm was because right across the street, I kid you not, there is an LDS church... but wouldn't you know! Apparently it is not where my ward meets. We instead meet in what we call the "Toaster Building" (one of the better known churches on campus because of it's strange resemblance to a toaster). My first reaction to this was "What the heck!? There is a church across the street that would be much more convenient! Plus, I wouldn't be laughed at when I tell people I go to church inside of a toaster." But I will admit, that although the Toaster is a 15 minute walk away and miserable to travel to in hot weather while wearing a skirt and heels, I couldn't ask for a better ward. And if that means I need to wake up just a bit earlier, wear flats, and coat a bit more sunscreen on every Sunday, it is worth the sacrifice! I have the greatest stake and Bishopric I could ask for. To be honest though, I hope no one remembers me because then maybe I will have less of a chance of being called to a crazy calling such as... Relief Society President. However, I couldn't have asked for a better Sunday! I was blessed with such great roomies that I was able to trek to church with and have family dinner and prayer with:)
Our building even had fort wars where each floor built their own fort out of boxes! I am still not really sure what the point of it was and unfortunately ours was pretty much voted as the worst, BUT I'm over it.
I am fortunate enough to live two miles away from the Logan temple and I had the opportunity to go on a run with two of my roommates to the temple grounds, which was a perfect end to a perfect day :)
