For FHE today we took a trip up to SLC to watch the Joseph Smith movie (long time coming, I know). We had to take dinner to go cause we were behind scheduled, but we enjoyed the Albertsons chicken on the way up. Then we jumped on the Trax which the girls thought was pretty cool! It was a relaxing 30 min ride up and everyone behaved! When we got there we had plenty of time so we walked around the statutes. The movie itself was great and the girls did pretty well through it. Except Cielo got very sleepy and wiggly. There were some pretty intense moments for the girls, but they did alright. Reading the last words to the girls made Nathan cry, and I would have sat there gushing my heart out if I had had the luxury!
Afterwards we spoke with one of the sister missionaries, she was from Samoa. In our conversation we learned that she was a convert had recently received a letter from her family disowning her. It was the only letter she had received from them since on her mission. She was a great person to talk with and our hearts certainly went out to her. It was another insight into the fact that we have no idea where people are coming from and what they are experiencing. She was a beautiful person.
Well, we enjoyed our night and on the way back picked up some Iceberg shakes. THe girls made it about half way through before they complained about being too cold!then thy passed out and we had a nice quiet evening!!
