On Saturday I was able to drive down to the district and see two great friends that I haven’t seen since my mission. (2 years-crazy!!)  My last companion Sister Maxwell who is from Salt Lake and Kessia Cruz who was a delight to teach.

Driving there was a breeze and Hallie even fell asleep. However parking was a whole other story. After driving around for 30 min with Hallie now awake and screaming I found a parking garage and consented to paying the 16 dollars it cost.  I figured it was a small price to keep me from swearing.

With that said it was so worth it. Sarah (Sister Maxwell) is amazing.  She was in town for a school trip and set side time to see us. One of my favorite things about her is the fact that she always follows through with what she says-amazingly dependable! On top of that she is hilarious and so fun to be around. Kessia is one of the most genuine people I know.  She is unbelievably positive and I would even describe her as perky. Kessia was baptized about two years ago and is now considering a mission. Wow, she would be unstoppable! What a blessing it is to have good friends. Thanks Kessia and Sarah.
