The ELM in SLC

The England London Mission reunion in Salt Lake City was a beautiful night. Fall was in the air and on the trees. I even got to wear a sweater. Joy! I love Salt Lake City; it's one of my favorite places to visit. I love visiting the church landmarks and how stores aren't open on Sundays, and getting lost and discovering hidden antique neighborhoods where the houses have front porches.
A Few Favorites:
*Getting to meet Olen's favorite mission companion (one of the four Elders in the accident with Olen), Jon Stones and his wife Emily. Thanks again for dinner!
*Meeting Sister Waterfall, who now lives only ten miles from us and we never knew.
*Hugging Olen's mission President, E. Doyle Robison and his wife Beth. My heart is so full of gratitude for these sweet people who love Olen so much.
*Eating candy from London.
* One hour flights from PHX to SLC and hotels with continental breakfasts.
*Hearing stories that started "You should have seen your husband! We used to..."
*Getting to see trees with yellow leaves because it's actualy fall and not because the trees have heat stroke.
*Being Olen's girl.
