Most Amazing Experience

I had the most incredible experience this past week. I had the opportunity to receive my endowment in the Mount Timpanogos temple. It was a lot for me to take in. The temple is so beautiful and sacred. But the most beautiful part was having my wonderful parents, my grandpa and Melanie and Thomas there with me. It was the most beautiful sight to see them all dressed in white waiting for me. I was so blessed to have so many family members to support me as I made this important step in my life. After the temple, we all went out to eat with my younger sisters. I just loved having my whole family together.

These are some more pictures from my family's wonderful vacation to Mexico! The second tour that we went on we saw the Mayan ruins. The cool part was that our tour guide was LDS and so she was able to relate some of their symbols and culture to the Book of Mormon! It was so fasinating!

Last week my family took a wonderful vacation to Mexico!!! It's my last vacation before my mission. It was super super fun!! We went to the Grand Mayan resort on the riviera Maya just outside of Cancun. Most of the time we hung out at the resort and just relaxed by the pool and ate food. But we did get to take two tours. The first tour was so stinkin fun!!! First we went to a private Mayan park. It's run by real Mayans!!! There we went jeepin through the jungle and guess what... I even got to drive the jeep! They even let Emily drive the jeep! It was so fun going up and down and side ways all through the jungle. Then we went ziplining over a huge cinote and canoed back. Then to cool off we went swimming. I even jumped off a cliff... don't worry it's a baby one. Then we walked through the Mayan village. It's Crazy! They still live in little huts. How can you live like that? After the Mayan Park we went snorkeling in a cave. I'll be honest I was scared. There were bats inside of it. I did feel pretty adventurous though. Then we went to the ocean and saw sea turtles they were so sick!!!

This monkey was a little stink!! It wouldn't let me hold it and it stole my hat!!

San Francisco!!! This is one of my most favorite cities…actually my 2^nd. I got to visit it during spring break thanks to Neil. His family gave me one of their free buddy passes so he and I could fly there for free. It was so stinkin fun! I just love that city!

We walked around the piers taking random pictures and we stopped at a little crepe shop and ate.

We got on a ferry and headed to Alcatraz. It was kinda creepy being there and thinking about how it used to be a prison. But the island was actually quite beautiful

I found a random tree I really wanted to climb...so I did!!
