This summer I went with the ward to the Manti Pageant in utah. We made it a week long trip though and saw all the sights in utah. It was a great experience. It had been a long time since I had been downtown Salt Lake City.
One of the best gifts we got while we were there was to see an old best friend and member of the ward, Beverly Miller! She is going to Lds Business school there and wants to be a professor of art history. She met us at the visitor center and went around with us for the rest of that day. The picture is of her and Bishop Wilcox.
Me and one of my awesome Church friends, Mikhalia Thornton. We stuck together most of the time, as we were the two oldest there. Trouble followed wherever we went.
The Manti Temple is probably the most Beautiful Temple I have seen. Right now I am thinking about getting married there. The actual pageant was very awe inspiring. However, the protestors that stopped me and a friend for a half hour was not as nice, but I learned a lot from the experience. It's hard to make one doubt the church is true when all you have to do is turn around and look at the temple.
At the visitor center they have made an exact replica of the Salt Lake Temple, showing all the rooms inside and what is there. There was quite a few non-members there that really liked it.
Our crazy group of girl's that stayed in the same house together! We had a great time together and got to experience things that we would have never otherwise gotten to see.
