On January 30th I took a days vacation and worked as a volunteer at the Draper Temple Open House. What an awesome experience.
There were so many people that came through on our shift which was from 10:00-2:00. They estimated aht approximately 1,500 people came through an hour that day. It was very interesting to see peoples reactions as they went through. I was stationed outside the marriage waiting room and close to the brides dressing room. The brides dressing room is beautiful. Then I did a shift from 5:00 - 9:00 p.m. at the Church. I helped to get people on and off the buses that went up to the temple. That was very interesting. We heard that Elder Ballard came through the temple after the 2:00 shift ended and he had Martin Luther King III with him. Martin Luther King III is very impressed with the LDS Church and what they do with the welfare program. He was very impressed with the Hurricane Katrina relief that the Church helped with. I have to say this was one of the most tiring things I have done with very inspiring. I have not been on a tour yet but I am going to in the next couple of weeks.

UTAH AUTO EXPO



The middle of January the New Car Dealers of Utah produce an Auto Show where they have alot of new, shiny, beautiful cars. These are some of the pictures that I took .

This is me in the new little Smart Car. It has alot of leg space, no trunk and very little head space if you are very tall. It would be a fun run around car for the bank or whatever but I would not like to be in 5:00 p.m rush hour traffic on the freeway while driving it.

This is one of my younger friends - Samuel - He thought this convertible was cool, but he really liked the Hummers

These are some more of my younger friends. They are triplets, Hannah(in the back) Rebekkah in the drivers seat and Sarah is the front seat passenger. They also like the convertible.

I am not sure what all of these cars are but they were pretty.

This car is a Bentley. It is owned by a pro sports agent who loaned it to the show for a few nights. The back seat has those massage rollers that go up and down your back. Price is around $259,000.

I thought this stationwagon was quite ugly. It looks like one of the old ones.

This is a Dodge motorcycle. (I think)


I think this one was a Bentley also.

As you can see there were alot of nice cars.
