gila valley temple trip!

on sat, may 1st i got to go w/ some of the yw and ym on a fun little trip to gila valley.  we met at the church at 6am and i got to drive the warner's van (15 passenger bus:).  i wish i took a pic of that.  i was nervous to drive it, but it was totally normal and i even got special parking treatment!  thanks so much warner fam!  anyway, we had all the girls in our car and the other leader annie came w/ and it was a party.  fun to be w/ the yw in our ward.  i love them all so much and am so glad i get to work w/ them!  the temple was beautiful and it was cool to hear some history of the gila valley (spencer w. kimball grew up near there).  i felt the spirit so strong in the sealing room and almost got teary.  such a cool experience.  we'll have to go back one day.  now if they can just get crackin on the gilbert temple!  that would be so awesome!
