What's In This Blog

I created this blog for my journal. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In this blog I keep many of the things I come across as a member of the church. I also share my experiences on the ACE Train and getting to work, my experiences in Manteca where we have lived for three years, and other things I think are noticeable.

Snowflake Temple

 Snowflake Temple is in a very beautiful location, and there is a waterfall built into the temple making it very nice.  I visited on a trip to Indiana, staying at a rest area and then getting there very early in the morning.

Spring Means Almond Blossoms in Manteca

 These are pictures from Manteca when we were there for Charlie's blessing last year.  I have always enjoyed seeing the almond blossoms.




Flowers and Fauna at Death Valley

 We had a little pamphlet to help us figure out which was which.  In the end we gave up, and settled for yellow flowers of many types.

Jeremy and I at Kirtland Temple

 Pictures inside and out of the Kirtland Temple.  Jeremy and I traveled there this past summer.  This temple is not a working temple but is the first temple built in the latter-days.  It was recently purchased by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  As part of the tour we sang "The Spirit of God" which was written for the dedication of this temple.

Logan Utah, Angie's Mural

 On the corner of 700 North Main Street in Logan is a mural on the side of Angie's.  This mural provides an overview of things in Logan and the area.

dairy cows and cheese, Bear Lake over the mountains with the monster, dragging Main

Old Main, USU Library? Logan Temple Logan Tabernacle, snow boarding (Beaver or Richmond), old car

Old LDS church which is now another denomination (Alpine Church) on Main, an old residence (There is a house like this in Hyrum) and Jim Bridger with an elk 


Pretty cool.  Please correct me if I am wrong.  The USU library is this the new or the old, or not the library at all?
