19 Temple Square

Tonight, our ward went to Temple Square to enjoy the lights. It. Was. Amazing. It was my first time going and all the lights were more beautiful than I could ever have imagined. We watched Elf on the way there, which I loved. Then, after just a short period of being there, I saw some sister missionaries. I forget how much I miss them since we don't have them in our student wards but it was so fun to say hi. We started talking and found out one of them knew my roommate's friend from home and the other was from Spain. And then another sister missionary came over and we found out she was the daughter of the couple that are mission president's of the mission one of my other friends is going on next semester in Berlin, Germany. It is such a small world. Plus, in the short time we were with them, one of them said something that answered a small prayer of mine. Missionaries are the best. 



Then, they were about to carol so they invited us to sing with them in the square and we sang two songs with them and I was immediately filled with the spirit of Christmas and with joy. I love Christmas. And Christmas carols. After an hour and a half, our ward gathered back together and sang a couple carols. We had hot chocolate and cookies and then had a prayer. Today has been one of the happiest days I've had since coming to BYU. And one of the most fun. I love the temple!!!!
