I Love to See the Temple

I had the opportunity to go through the temple for the first time on Thursday night. I went through the St. George Temple. It was such a wonderful night! I feel so blessed that I have so many supportive people who were able to be there with me. I appreciate my family so much, and the example they have been to me as worthy members of the church. I was escorted by my Mom, and then my Dad, my brother Bryan, his wife Melissa, Grandma Morris, Grandpa Morris, Aunt Karen, Uncle Bruce were also there along with me.

Sheryl and Steve Lewis also came to share that night with me. I appreciate them both so much. I am so lucky to have such great friends.

At the end, I also realized that Corey and Tiffany had made the trip to be in St. George with me that night also. How lucky am I?

Here are just a couple of pictures from that night. We went to Olive Garden after the temple, and had a wonderful meal. I can't wait to go back to the temple, and I'm so grateful and glad that I have been taught all my life the importance of being worthy to enter the temple.

Last Picture Post...I love Europe!!

These pictures are some of my favorites! I love Bavaria. The south of Germany, and what I saw of Salzburg...are beautiful.

More Germany Pictures...and Austria too!!

Here are some more pictures of my trip. Feel free....to just skip this post if you've already seen enough of my adventure...I took over 1,000 pictures over the three weeks I was there, and I'll only post about 150 of them between these few posts. Enjoy!

Finally....Germany Pictures

Some of you may remember that I went to Germany in July. It now seems like it was forever ago, and I realized that I still haven't posted any pictures of my trip.

So here is a slide show with some of my favorite pictures from the trip. I had a great time for the few weeks I got to spend over there with my good friend Olivia, and I'm excited to go back to Europe in a couple more months to start my time serving in Sweden. :)

MISSION CALL!!!

I can't believe I have already had my mission call for almost two weeks now! I thought I had better post where I am going on my mission...because I was not home to open my call, nor have I had the opportunity to tell everybody where I'm going. Let me just say, I am SO excited!!!

So here it is...I will be leaving October 1st for the MTC to serve in the.....drum roll please...

Sweden Stockholm Mission

I am excited to get home to start preparing to go. I have a couple of months, and will just hang out in Cedar until I leave. The language will be a challenge, but I can't wait!

The Stockholm Sweden Temple

Welcome Back Suzanne! Part 2

I know I said I would keep you updated about my trip...sorry, everywhere I was in Germany I had to pay to use the internet, and couldn't spend what little time I had on posting on my blog, so here I am, back in Scotland, and I thought I would take just a minute to post a little something about my trip.

Germany was absolutely fantastic!! Every place we went was so full of history, and beautiful architecture, and we just had a really fun time! I will be sure to post pictures when I get home of some of the amazing things I saw! One of the crazy things about being in another country is the language barrier. I tried really hard to say what I could in German...but usually, the person I was talking to would be able to tell immediately that I was American, and would use English with me...I did try though.

Olivia and I have had a really good time, and I'm glad I got to spend this time with her before I leave on my mission!

Wecome Back Suzanne Part 1

So I got into Scotland about noon yesterday...my flight had been delayed out of the JFK airport in New York City....for almost two hours, so all in all, I was ready to be out of airports and off of airplanes by the time I got here.

We just hung out in Edinburgh yesterday...did some shopping, ate at Frankie and Benny's...of course New York style restaurant, and best of all...just got to spend time with Olivia. I was also so excited to see Patti and Will. Olivia's mom and step-dad...who are so kind to me. I got in the shower this morning, and Patti had left me a message on the mirror. It says, "Welcome Back Suzanne" so when I was getting out of the shower...I knew I was welcome here.

We leave for Germany tomorrow...we still have things to do like get money switched to Euros, figure out where we will be able to attend church on the Sundays we are there...and get directions to all the hostels we will be staying at. Seeing as though neither of us know the language all that well...directions will be a very good thing. ;) I hope all of you are doing well. I'll post on here as often as I get the opportunity. :) And the pictures will come later! P.S. If you didn't already know, my mission papers are in Salt Lake. It's only a matter of weeks before I find out where I will have the opportunity to serve the Lord. I am so excited!!
