Dear Reader,
This weekend was a fun-filled and fast weekend. On Saturday my parents had left me a car, so I was able to drive to work! That made life easier. After work I started the weekend with a drive to Lake Point, Utah. Following a reception, the weekend kept going with a movie night with one of my besties, a nice trip to Provo with my mom, a visit to a memorial, church planning adventures/disasters, dinner with some good friends, tunnel singing, all topped off with a great game of Dominion!
First things first, I'm so happy for my buddy Dallin who was married for all time and eternity on Saturday! It was great to see him and his new wife on Saturday, along with all of his family. We are so proud of you, Bro!
Now, the title for today's post comes from the movie my friend and I watched after the reception. "Letters to Juliet" is the name of the film. How was it? Well, I have mixed feelings about the story. Watching it at the Kitchen household was great. I love seeing all of their family. :) As far as the movie goes, I will let you all form an opinion of your own. I feel it is the tiniest bit too predictable and the final scene is really cheesy. Lucky for me, I like cheese. The song for today's title is played near the end of the movie when the main girl has a great realization moment. Go see it. You might like it.
Sunday was a great adventure! It has been a long time since the last Sunday that was so filled with things to do. First thing in the morning was by far the highlight of the day. A friend and I decided about a week ago to go visit the grave of her friend up in Orem. Despite all the drama of finding out where she is buried, we rode up and took time to visit her grave site. We laughed. We cried. Above all, we felt the spirit strongly testifying of how our friend is still around, just working in a different area now. I always love visiting cemeteries. You can always feel something different. I would highly suggest taking a trip to visit ancestors or friends that are buried nearby.
After our memorial visit, I had to run off and prepare the Sacrament Meeting program for our ward. Luckily the communications co-chair knows what she is doing. She had already planned out most of the program. However, we ran into problems when the copy machine wasn't working. Luckily a nice brother in another ward helped us out and we were able to print the programs. That was an adventure!
Dinner after church was a great opportunity. My friends up in Highland invited me up to dinner along with another Returned Missionary who had recently returned from Chile. We ate and talked for a couple of hours with their family and even talked over Skype with their grandparents in Chile. It was a great time to reminisce with them.
Tunnel Singing was very uplifting, as is normal. After we had an awesome game of Dominion at our apartment. If you have never played, come over and ask either myself or my roommate Tyler. We will be glad to explain how to play. :) Maybe this weekend we can play.
