So for those of you who aren't familiar with Provo or the Mormon culture, well, you obviously don't live in Provo because everywhere you go in Provo, the Mormon culture follows you ;) Anyway, just down the street from our apartment is the Provo Temple, a sacred building for our church (for more info about temples go to this link, Temples). Right across the street from the temple is the Missionary Training Center or MTC, where missionaries go before they travel to their respective places around the world where they will serve. They learn how to teach the gospel and hopefully, learn a few basics of how to talk in a foreign language if they are going to a different country.
So two Saturdays ago, I walked down to the temple and did baptisms for the dead. As I was walking back, I passed a few groups of missionaries going to the temple. I have this thing where I hate walking past people and not looking at them and stuff. So I glanced up and looked at them. At the same time, I caught the eyes of one of the missionaries. We held gaze for a fraction of the second and then he quickly looked away at the ground, like he wasn't supposed to look at girls anymore since he was a missionary now. It was pretty hilarious and it took all my restraint not to bust up laughing. Poor missionary who was just trying to be righteous and I was being a "temptation" by looking at him haha.
Anyway, that's pretty much it. Good luck to all the missionaries serving around the world. I'll be joining y'all within the next year!Julie :)
