Times up

Well its all over rover. I'm going home. My adventures are thus far complete and i feel like i could sleep forever. My only question is... have my adventures really changed me?And in some ways i think so. I've become more independant and i'd learnt to not take your parents for granted. I think thats the most important thing i've learnt that is.. that i love my parents so much and apreciate them so much. What can i say i'm muumys girl. Honestly i think that its you guys who will know if i've changed. I hope i have and in good ways. I hope i've matured and i hope i've become more aware of who i am.
At the beginning of my trip i was so homesick i think i cried everyday for the first week i was here. I think about when i was in places like New York, Washington DC and Boston, i was there by myself. IN the moments i felt lonely and didn't really realise until now how cool it was. I look back and think man i was in NEw York for a week(thanks mim) wow i really lived in New YOrk. I did so much and saw so much and now that is part of my life and a memory i will never forget.
I've really been down the rabbit and now i'm goin back to sit under my homely comfortable tree with a whole part of the world that i'm aware of. At nineteen i've seen some of the most major citys in the world and i my life hasn't even really started.
I'm glad the time has gone quickly. i look back and apreciate my experiences so much more now and i have lots of items to remind me of my time in all those places.
So this part is over but hopefully more adventures awwait me when i get back to my home New Zealand.

Mount Timpanogos Temple

Well i've made it to Utah and its different to the places i've been which is good i'm getting to experience new things. There are Chapels and temples everywhere which is different from my lds world in New Zealand where there is one temple and only four chapels in my city. Its hard to find the temples because there are so many stepals from churchs that it gets confusing. i'm mostly amazed by the gardens of the temples so colourful and pretty. The weather is far more bearable here than in New Mexico and Arizona and it even gets cold which is something new for me after where i've been. I can't believe i'm only here for another 3 weeks its crazy how fast time is going.
So far in Utah i've managed to look my friends keys in her car and then when we were at Gateway getting ready to leave we lost the keys to the car for an hour so two seemy overwhelming days that have created a certain kind of adventure. Hoping for more less overwhelming adventures!

Mesa Arizona Temple

So here are a few shots if me in Arizona. as you can see i didn't do very much. Just went to the temple. But its a cool temple reminds me of like an old egyptian temple or like Solomons temple. I went through the visitors center and there was an Art exhibition on and there was some really cool stuff. there was this amazing painting of esther on her knees and the painter had used this beautiful deep red colour is was just gorgeous. But i don't remember the artists name. I'm in Utah now and i'm sure i will be better at updateing my blog for you all.
