Look Who I Found!

Today I ran into an old friend from Florida! It was so cool seeing him in the JSB, especially since the last I'd heard of him he'd been in a bad car accident. It was awesome to get to see Ivan today!

Valentines Dates

This Valentines Day, Candice and I got treated to a wonderful dinner by our Home Teachers. They dressed up for us and took us to the Cannon Center. We basically have the best home teachers ever. We love them oh so dearly <3

I also got this cute little surprise at my door today from an anonymous Valentine on my hall <3

And Cris and I decided to start the day off right and go to the MTC. We volunteered with missionaries learning English, they taught us a lesson! We heard from 2 Elders, from Mongolia and Chile, and 3 Sisters, from China, Thailand, and Hong Kong. Super cool experience!

Treat Day

Saturday Temple Trip

Today I did a few things out of the ordinary... I woke up early on Saturday, went to do baptisms at the Mount Timpanogas Temple, and ate an Ecuadorian soup called encebollado. A couple of people from Spanish class all went together, and then afterwards we stopped off at our Professor's house for lunch. The rice was super good, the fish soup (encebollado) - not my favorite. I did try it though, so I'm proud of myself for that!

And for your enjoyment, here's my favorite Cannon Center pick up line...

Choirfest

Yesterday was Choirfest! The 4 auditioned BYU Choirs performed, namely,

Mens Chorus

BYU Singers

Concert Choir

Womens Chorus

That was our performance order. We sang "Now Touch the Air Softly", "Mary Speaks", and "I Know that My Redeemer Lives". Except the version of I Know that we sang was the Sacred Harp version and it was intense. We had a lot of fun - it was a really good concert. My friend and Abby and I took some quality selfies. I wish I would have taken a picture of my hair though - my roommate Abi did a really good job with it.

Temple Thursdays

So since the last time I posted there have been two more temple attendances. Here's the photos from them!

Unfortunately, Erin was not able to come templing with us this last Thursday. But we still got her into a couple of the pictures ;)

BYU vs. Gonzaga

So my first basketball game of the season was BYU vs. Gonzaga.. the number one collegiate team in the nation. It was a super intense game even though just about everyone thought we were going to be slaughtered. We were actually only 6 points away from them at like the 2 minute mark, but then lots of fouls happened and they beat us really bad. It was a really fun game to go to and I got to go with a pretty good friend... ;) Anyways. Here's some of my basketball game photos.
