Festival of Colors




Hi Family,
Well life goes on and I'm making tons of memories here at school. This past weekend I had the opportunity to go to the Festival of Colors at a Krishna Buddhist Temple. There was cultural music and dancing and then came the fun part. Everyone bought packets of this colored chalk in lots of colors and when they lit the fire alone the side of the temple we all let loose. Everyone threw their colors up in the air and at each other, it was so fun. The colors filled the sky, you couldn't even see the sun, it was mayhem, but so fun. After all the colors were done we crowd surfed and danced around to a little beat, anyways it was a great cultural experience and here are some pics.

Headed to Japan!




Hi Family!
I am sure most of you know but I received my mission call on Wednesday, March 12. I had the amazing opportunity of driving to Lehi and opening it with Drew. I have been called to serve in the Japan Fukuoka Mission and I leave on July 16th. Opening my call was one of the best experiences of my life, the spirit was so strong. I cannot express my emotions and the joy I feel towards my call. I cannot wait to serve the people of Japan.
