on Saturday i got to go to the D.C. temple for my ward's youth temple trip! i guess they only go twice a year but once to D.C. and once to Manhattan. i already missed the NY trip though :(anyway, i was kinda nervous to go cuz i was scared I'd be left out kinda, even though all the girls are super nice and always say hi to me at church. but luckily it was fine, plus the cars were assigned to us so i didn't have to worry about being left out hah.
first we went to the visitors center and ate lunch, then watched the joseph smith video. I've seen it like 4 times now, but it's still so powerful every time. then we did our session. it's way different than the LA temple. they make you wear socks and a bodysuit under the jumpsuit. i know other temples do that too, but I'm just used to the LA temple. and the font area and bathrooms are super small. you'd think they'd be pretty big since it's a big temple and a lot of people go there, but i guess not. but it's really pretty inside. and i had a really good time :)
after we went to Nando's it's like a Portuguese chicken place. it was soo bombbb! mmmm i want to go back. and we were in different cars on the way back and i was in the party car :) well it was the bishop's car, but he's super cool and has two kids my age....well not my age, but in high school. and this kid kasey was also in our car with his sister. he's totally in love with me. it's really funny. but we had fun playing games in the car for 2 and a half hours :)
then carrie was 20 minutes late picking me up from the church -__- even though i told her 30 minutes before we got there that i'd be there in 30 minutes. urgh i was so angry. whatever, it was a good day but i was superrr tired and went to bed kinda early instead of staying up to talk and play games, since their friends were staying for the weekend.

one, i've never been inside the DC temple, so i'm jealous.
ReplyDeletetwo, i forget how far they have to drive out there to go to a temple! i can't even believe it. makes me appreciate what i have. i bet they're sure glad to be getting a temple there soon, huh?
three, salt lake and oquirrh mountain both do the sock thing. salt lake, just to keep things clean (you take them off before entering the font) but oquirrh you wear them in the font because everything is tile, so it's super slippery.
also, provo just switched from the cotton jumpsuit to really nice silky smooth jumpsuits that are a lot long than they used to be. i actually quite like them...ha
haha ya newport does the socks too. and we had to wear them into the font here...it was weird. but the group before us wasnt wearing socks! oh wells. the philly temple isnt gonna be done for like 2 years though :/ i want to come back for the open house and dedication!
