After heading back to Arizona from New Mexico, we got to hang out with & meet some awesome people! Arizona was quite enjoyable, though rather warm, I must say. So on Monday night, we started driving to our new location... Utah! We ended up spending the night in the van, because it was raining (which ruined our camping plans...). Utah was pretty much the exact opposite of Arizona-- hot & dry turned into cold & rainy. Even though the weather was opposite, the people were just as cool!
The first night after sleeping in the van, we were put up in a hotel! (Quite the opposite there as well). We also met Mike, who has a stuffed Pokeman that matches the one traveling with us in our van :) Alex was a fun person to hang out with-- she even came with us when we visited the Mormon Temple in downtown Salt Lake City! We had some fun times together.
On Saturday, we drove further north to Twin Falls, ID. Our introduction to this lovely town in the middle of nowhere was watching 14 crazies jump off of a perfectly good bridge into a 500 foot deep canyon... with parachutes, of course. It was pretty crazy & intense! We met up with Bryan, who took us to the farm house that would become our home for the next 2 nights... complete with stink bugs & spiders living in the basement (well, the whole house, really). But it was super fun & super nice! The people at The River Christian Fellowship were so receptive to our story, even though we were only able to show 1 story of hope (not the full documentary). Tonight we will be showing the doc to their young adult group (and possibly some of the other members of their congregation).
Overall, Utah and Idaho have been pretty awesome! Next stop: VANCOUVER, BC, CANADA! I can't wait for Jane to show us around her country (well, at least the very small part that she grew up in)! :)
