UTAH!!!
So lots to share with everyone!!! I went on a huge roadtrip with my friend Sophie and it was awesome!! We spent a week in Southern Alberta, then went to Montana, then Idaho, then Utah, then Mesa, Arizona, then San Diego and Los Angeles, then Vegas and then back to Utah! So in Alberta we went to a wedding, spent some time with Mette and went quading!! It was super fun! In Montana we went horseback riding!! It was fun and the view was beautiful! In Idaho we met up briefly with some old friends and then in Utah we just spent time with friends again. We went to St. George, Utah where we saw some old Church History sites and the St. George temple! We arrived in Mesa on the night of June 10th and had such a great time there! We went and spent the weekend with the missionary that baptized me, Josh Durrant. We went four-wheeling and watched a movie under the stars! Me and him also got to visit the Mesa temple which was amazing! I went to my first professional baseball game! Cheered on the Arizona Diamondbacks! haha. I got a free shirt and a free bag.. and even a free bobble-head!! haha. It was way fun! I also got to hold his half-brother.. who is a baby!! And I love holding babies haha. On the Monday we went to San Diego and went surfing!! Not sure if you would call what we did "surfing"... but it was way fun anyway! Exhausting too! We then visited the San Diego temple... except it was under some renovations... then we headed to Laguna Beach to watch the sun set! It was absolutely gorgeous!! After that we visited the Newport Beach Temple.. and then headed to LA! In LA we just walked around and stopped for a bite to eat. We were sooo exhausted! We drove through the night... and by "we".. I mean Sophie... I barely drove poor girl. We arrived in Vegas at 6am... slept until 2pm and then visited the Las Vegas temple... stopping by at Sonic for a delicious meal! haha. We then went back to the hotel and walked along the strip! Got some epic pictures with Iron Man.. and then headed back home for our last night together! The next day I had some major car problems.... but finally at 5pm I was headed to Provo, UT! (Sophie had flown out that morning) I got to Utah and spent two nights at my friend Angela's! On that Friday, the 18th, I moved into my very cute and lovely apartment!!! My roommates, Izzy and Rachel, are from Gilbert, AZ and I love them!! They are so awesome!! Last weekend I also got to go to a friend's wedding which was so great and visit with some people. School started on Monday and I love it!!! I am so into it and working really hard! It's so much easier for school to be your entire focus when you are away from home! :)
I love my school, it's a beautiful campus!! And I love how I am encouraged to be a better person spiritually as I establish my education too! The teachers are so awesome and I just love the spirit here!! I am taking Spanish and Mission Prep. My Spanish class is really teaching me a lot!! It's very focused on my weaknesses!! The past-tense... and accents!! That's what we are working on!!
Last night I went to the Manti Pageant! It's a church Pageant and it was the second-last night! The temple there is beautiful and it was cool to see so many people there!! I met some sister missionaries and we got to chat for a little while! I love them!! I told them about my friend Leanne Harvey who will be coming to the St. George mission in September!!
Anyway, I love where I am at and am so happy! I miss the family though! Wish you guys could all be here!! But then I wouldn't get much of my homework done.... watch for pictures soon!!

Besos and love you all!!!
