From Rexburg to Salt Lake City

I bet all of you are like are like what the heck is up with the title..

No I didn't just leave Rexburg and move to Salt Lake City. Maybe someday but not today sadly.

Well friends! Kyrsten here had the lovely opportunity to travel to Salt Lake City today! Only with my communication class but still. I got to go lalala.

It was probably one of the greatest opportunities I have had so far at my time at BYU-Idaho. If I would've stayed in Ohio or something I don't think I would've been able to go to Utah.

I got to achieve one of my dreams today!

Aka the point of this whole post basically...

Ever since I went back to the church, it has been my dream to go see the Salt Lake City temple. It has literally been my background on my phone up until a couple of days ago. Only because I fell in love with the Logan Temple while doing a visual media project.

Anyways, today I finally got to achieve my dream! I got to see the temple.

Salt Lake City Temple

It is so beautiful. IT IS LIKE A CASTLE LIKE WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO GET MARRIED IN THAT TEMPLE... or the Logan one that one looks like a castle also. The fact that I actually got to go and see it. It was real and I touched the temple(only the outside because I couldn't go in and do baptisms because lack of time sad). I literally was just fangirling.

Being in a city basically full of Mormons is super weird especially the fact that not everyone is Mormon in Ohio. Even the fact that there were maybe 3 Mormon kids when I was in high school.

It was such a great day. I am defiently going back to Salt Lake as soon as I can to explore more. I didn't do enough. And I am actually gonna try as hard as I can to do a baptism session in there.

Okay I am weird. I have this goal. I want to visit every single temple is the US including the one in Alaska(probably won't be hard for reasons hahahaaha) and the two in Hawaii. I have been inside two and been on the grounds of 3! Hopefully that changes but ya know I can have goals.

Temples are one of one of my favorite parts about the gospel. You can ask my best friend about how he asked me what my favorite temple was and I gave him a list of like four or five. Haha its sad but so true. You can feel the Spirit so strong in the temple and even on the grounds. I cannot explain the answers I have received from just sitting on the grounds of the temple.

Even from today, I think I got a couple of answers from just walking on the grounds. Heavenly Father works in mysterious ways but He does it for a reason.

I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to go to Salt Lake City today basically for the first time(Not really counting flying into Utah and then driving up to Idaho). I am beyond ecstatic I finally got to see the SLC temple and walk on temple square. Can I just say how adorable the temple square missionaries are also? Like ugh I love that place so much. I hope to go again soon.

Sorry for the constant fangirling. I love this Church and the gospel so much. I have realized without it I would be some loser in debt for the rest of my life so thank you missionaries.

I love you all!
