so, what do byu students do on sundays? good question. its very odd here. they go outside and read scriptures out loud to each other. they walk around campus singing hymns. and they walk to the temple. don't get me wrong. these are all good things. just weird. (and don't worry. i just walked to the temple. i didn't walk around singing, "i love the gospel. it is the best." i know what you're thinking... People don't actually do that... but i am here to tell you, they do.)but the temple is beautiful, kinda funky, but beautiful. it's quite a walk. especially in church shoes. (didn't quite think that one through. haha)
ok, i do have a funny story. a bunch of the girls from my hall decided to walk down and i hadn't seen it yet so i went. none of us knew that sunday was the day for all the missionaries from the mtc to go there. there were hundreds! i have never seen so many missionaries! so as we were walking, we said, "hey elders"... just to be polite. we weren't trying to stop and talk to them and ask them for their addresses so we could write them or anything. it was innocent, i swear! it was purely to be nice. and most of them just turned their heads the other direction. finally, one told us that we aren't supposed to talk them at all and that they aren't supposed to say anything back. how weird is that? it just doesn't make sense to me. anyway, some weren't quite so reverent. some made us feel like nuns. but it was fun! and i took a few pictures! (don't judge me, i'm not very good! haha)
