Today Andrew and I had a very relaxing day in San Diego. We attended an Escondido Ward and were really impressed with what we found there. So many members we so deeply rooted in the gospel and wanted to share what was on their mind during Sunday School, Relief Society and Elder Quorum. I found this interesting because so many times in my home ward the teachers have to pry answers out of the class to keep the discussion going. I decided I need to share my thoughts more in class on Sunday's and let Heavenly Father know i'm learning.
Andrew told me later that this ward reminded him a lot of wards he worked in while on his mission. The members work hard to find a testimony in the Gospel and continue on the upkeep a testimony requires.
After church we Skype with Lauren and Nate in San Francisco. It was so much fun to chat with them and catch up... they are only 10 hours away here in San Diego. We're so close! ;)
My favorite comment from Lauren as of late was last week when I was talking to Lauren about our vacation down to San Diego. We were both so excited that we were going to be in the same state we were trying to see how we could see each other.... 10 hours away. Lauren offered to drive to the freeway entrance during her lunch break so we could wave to her as we passed on the freeway. Turns out even that intersected freeway would be too far away to make it work during her lunch break.
It was a fun thought anyway.
