A visit from the Knapp's!!!

My last mission companion came to visit with her husband Samuel last week and we had a blast!!! We wanted to go to the temple but it was closed to be cleaned . . . it was blindingly white! We went to the Brigham Young home and Snow Canyon and hung out and had a movie night and relaxed and caught up and in general had an amazing time!!! I could not believe how many details Elisa remembered from our time together! She was a wonderful comp and we had great success together (and good times!)It turned out to be an unbelievably hot day! As in melt your tennies hot!!! So naturally we went hiking in Snow Canyon . . .We went to Jenny's slot canyon after hiking a bit . . . it had to be at least 25 degrees cooler their . . . so nice!
The Knapp's enjoyed the photo ops . . .
The kinda creepy walls . . . reminds me of an alien movie . . .
Blondie and I had fun entertaining them while Toph was at work . . . it was fun!!!
Danke fuer euer besuch Elisa und Sameul! Ihr seid IMMER herzlich wilkommen bei uns!!!

Two Swiss Misses' . . .

So Saturday I was busy at work and two ladies walked in from Switzerland who were traveling across the U.S. and were essentially stranded in our fair city for a few days . . . they wanted to see the national parks and planned on transportation being easily accessible to travel around the parks . . . well unfortunately since they were only 20 they couldn't rent a car and being the busy summer season arranging alternative transportation was almost impossible (and very expensive) so I thought "why not . . .?" So Toph and I became travel guides for a few days with the generous hospitality of my parents and little sister! Laurence and Andrea thank you for being such delightful company and for making us appreciate trailor parks, walmart, wendy's and swiss chocolate! You, your family and friends are welcome back anytime!!! We hope you enjoy your trip!!!
