Richard Gere from the Mothman prophesy may have experience with small rodents... but that's nothing on this... well... maybe a little bit. This new post will relate my experiences this past weekend.
My friend and prior mission companion Thalman is from a little town called Richfield, right, smack-dab in the center of the little town called Utah. It's a little over an hour away from the little town called Provo where I am currently residing. Me and Despain think that it would be fun to go down to Richfield to their 9:00 church meeting and hear him speak. On Saturday evening we were discussing the predicament... of where the church was, how to get there, yada yada yada. We figured that it would be a lot easier to go down the night before and find it, and then just spend the night in the car... instead of risking not finding the place and showing up late to church to the embarasment of all parties involved. Despain wanted to watch the Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas before we left. So, we did that... and then around 1:00 we decide to head down. Of course, Despain, being a native Utahan was the navigator... we got off in this little town and searched for a "short cut", unable to find it we got back on the freeway and head the "long way." We saw some deer and other wild animals... As mentioned from my previous post, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is not a good movie to watch when you're awake, let alone going down the highway at 1:00 in the morning. As the bugs hit our windshield, all I could imagine was the shattered dreams of small children smashing against my windshield. Horrible was the sight... horrible the memory. Now let's never speak of it again. We arrived in Richfield without incident, found the church, and got a couple hours of sleep before we rolled out of the car and attended church. Richfield may look and sound like a little town in the middle of nowhere... but it is packed full of attractive, daughters of this fine country. Thalman did a good job on his talk... we went through the range of emotions... there was sadness, joy, love, hate, laughter... he even did an impression of Yoda from the stage. We went to his home later and enjoyed some fine, traditional American cooking... and on the way home we almost took a "short cut" through the state of Colorado. Amen.
