Utah Adventure!

We had a blast in Utah. The drive wasn't bad either. We were able to walk around temple square, Take a tour at the Humanitarian Center and Welfare Square. We went to BYU and did a scavenger hunt, ate at Cougar Eats, shop at the BYU Bookstore, and watch a Men's Volleyball game. It took all five games but they finally won. The girls all really enjoyed the game. Then on Saturday morning we all just hung out and played pool and ping pong. Then we drove back to Salt Lake where we were able to go to the grave sites of some of our past prophets. We then went to the Conference Center for the Young Women's Broadcast. I have never been inside before and I couldn't believe how big it was. We were all sitting there quietly talking and taking in the surroundings when all of a sudden everyone was quiet and we all stood up. The President Monson and his two counselors walked in to the room. It was an awesome experience to see how many young women, their mothers, and leaders were there and it was completely silent. The Broadcast was great and that night at our devotional everyone was able to say what their favorite part was. On Sunday we woke up to find it was snowing in Salt Lake. The cars were a little covered, enough to write on the windows, but it wasn't sticking to the ground. We were able to watch the Spoken Word at the Tabernacle before our drive home. I have never been inside the Tabernacle either, so again I was impressed by the amazing building. This is an experience that will last for a long time. I am so glad that I was able to go on this trip with these amazing Young Women and leaders.
