Red Rocks and Old Friends

I knew that I was going to go out of town for the weekend so I committed to still doing chapters and I was able to get two done. I always forget how bright and fabulous the rocks of St. George are! I had such a great time visiting there instead of just driving through. To see my friend and catch up it was just a most amazing trip.

almost tragic day

It was a saturday and it had just snowed. I was walking down the street to the old church enjoying the fresh snow as I filmed. I got these awesome gloves for Christmas that let you still interact with touch screens when you wear them and I underestimated how slippery they were. Well I dropped my camera while it was on. When I opened it up the SD card had slipped and after putting it in I could not get it to work I was about to cry. I took a breath reinserted the battery and forced the lens screen to close as best I could and it worked again! I was able to complete the chapter. So far it still works if not being a little choppy when it zooms. We do have another camera if it gives up so it will all keep moving forward.

Sweet Moments in Time

I am trying to do some catching up so I did two chapters today. The weather has been nice and accommodating. The first I did at this real cool constructed chapel behind the fabric store. I have never been to a meeting in this chapel that I know of but I love the windows, design and sweet steeple. As I drove to my next location, the chapel of my friends wedding reception, I scoped out a few other places that would be good to visit next. I realized that there are many places in the valley that have two churches within a block or two of each other. It's an awesome thing to ponder.

old neighborhoods

So I was in Hyrum today. I think I have now hit all the cemeteries in the valley, well aside from Trenton and Smithfield but I don't even know were those are located. I have a lot of memories in Hyrum I want to go back and do a chapter with all the houses that my friends grew up in. Maybe the Elite Hall sadly some of those places are gone.

Parables and Temples

Just wanted to look back to Jacob chapter five and give you a little background. This is as you know the parable of the olive tree. It has seventy seven verses so I decided to use temple pictures. There are over a hundred Houses of the Lord so I hope I got the one that is special to you. I took most of the pictures in the first few verses my self. I have only visited three but I am very excited to attend the open house of the soon to be completed Brigham city temple. I was endowed in the San Diego Temple. I attended the Manti pageant many times. I have been to some sealings and a session in Salt Lake and Logan has become my home away from home. I love to look up at the scroll that reads "Holiness to the Lord" as I go in and as I leave.

the cold

It has been so cold that I fear I have gotten behind I am trying to be more creative and keep moving forward.

watch out they spit...

So I got bitten by a camel today, but nothing will stop the work from moving forward! A farmer in Young Ward likes exotic animals and has a few in his field. As I pass these most every time I go into Logan I thought it would be cool to film a chapter there. Things went fine for a while the Zonkey came over and sniffed me. I was cool with that. Then the camel came over and my coat looked tasty so he nibbled on it with his huge lips. I almost dropped my camera. No harm done sept for some funky looking drool on the sleeve of my new birthday coat.
