Update!

Hey everyone! Sorry it has taken us sooo long to get back to blogging! We have been super busy! Well, for all of you who don't know we are living in St. Joseph, Missouri! We moved out here the very end of April. We have been loving it here! We love all the people we work with! We are all one giant family! We are still getting used to the humidity, the super hot weather, and the crazy crazy storms that we get here, and let me tell you - we get tons of them!

We have done some pretty cool things since we have moved moved out here! St. Joseph is about an hour away from all the church history sites such as: Adam-ondi-ohmen, liberty jail, far west, and many others! One Sunday afternoon we took a drive out to Adam-ondi-ohmen (hopefully that is how you spell it!) It was really such a special place! We loved it! It's so cool to be living so close to all the church history sites!




We also took a trip down to Kansas City and we got to see the new Kansas City Temple in it's construction phases! It looks a lot like the Oquirrh Mountain Temple!



While we were in Kansas City - We had to drop down to Liberty where the Church of Christ is located. We went and took a guided tour of their temple and it was so crazy! They let us walk through every part of it! They also had some pretty cool artifacts from the Joseph Smith Family!
The funniest thing about that trip was when we realized that the Church of Christ Temple had DISH NETWORK!! We all had a pretty good laugh at that!



I think our conversation went something like this... (Walking out of the Visitors Center) OH MY GOSH!!!!! - Everyone what!!!! THEY DISH NETWORK! It was probably one of those situations where you would have to have been there to grasp the full hilariousness of it - but trust me! It was funny!


We went and saw this:



in Omaha! Oh my goodness! It was amazing! We went with two of our friends Jake and Phil! We ALL went and sold (emphasis on the all...YES I went and knocked doors!) and then drove down to Omaha Nebraska! We got there right before the show started, and we had to run a mile, I was in flip flops- uphill to make it on time! They almost shut the doors on us - but we hustled there! It was defidently a cool experience! After Wicked we ate some really awesome burritos at a stand that was outside the theatre! Yummy!!!


One of my favorite things about Missouri is their sunsets! We have the most beautiful sunsets here! There are no mountains... Just hills so it makes for an incredible sight! You can watch the sun set all the way down! Ahh... I love it!


We are loving it here! We miss our families and friends but we are having the time of our lives!
