Visiting St. George
Well, for the past few days I've been relaxing with the Stevens in
St. George, Utah. We've had an interesting few days and I have really enjoyed spending time with them. In many ways, the Stevens have been a huge part of my experience in America and I'm grateful for them.
One of the funny things about visiting St. George for the weekend is attending the Sun River Branch. Sun River is a community that only allows people over 55 years old to purchase property here. That means I get to attend a branch that is almost the exact opposite of my BYU Singles Ward. It's really interesting. And, I've been here often enough to have some of the people recognize me. However, one time I went to a ward activity with the Stevens here and someone asked if I was a missionary. Ha ha.

I love it that they thought you were still a missionary! I found this quote in Preach My Gospel...“The discipline contained in daily obedience and clean living and wholesome lives builds an armor around you of protection and safety from the temptations that beset you as you proceed through mortality.”
