It is now December!
December is Christmas time and Christmas time = The First Presidency Christmas Devotional!! (The First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has a Christmas Devotional every year during the first week of December! To listen, watch, or learn more visit www.lds.org).
My best friend Brittany got tickets for us to go to the devotional and she's always great at getting me out of my comfort zone. So she decided it would be a great date idea.
She asked her friend Jonathan and I asked our friend Mitch. So off we went to drive to Salt Lake this afternoon so we could get there early. The drive there was uneventful. We go to the devotional and it was great! The Mormon Tabernacle Choir performed beautifully as always and we were super close to the front! We watched the prophet and his counselors take their seats. We also saw a number of the members of the Quorum of the Twelve come in. It was just great!
After the devotional, we walked around Temple Square to look at the lights. It was all beautiful, but really windy. Okay, we survived that! It's fine!
We went into the Assembly Hall on Temple Square and listened to some more lovely music before heading back outside.
Rain drop, rain drop, LIGHTNING!! Wind, wind, raindrop, hail?! Yep, hail! So all of a sudden, it starts pouring rain and hail on us! And my car was parked two blocks away!
Needless to say, we were completely soaked by the time we got to my car that was parked in a parking garage. Off go our wet shoes and wet jackets and time to make sandwiches! So yep, we made sandwiches in the parking garage...soaking wet...without shoes! Pretty great my friends!
But it was so much fun!!! Even though we were cold and wet and hungry! Greatest adventure so far this year I must say...
Maybe Brittany and I shouldn't plan dates?! :)
