Canada Eh!

What can I say? I am addicted to traveling. If I could just travel the rest of my life I would. So this weekend for fall break I departed on a most wonderful trip to Canada. Canada was a lot different than I had imagined, but overall I really enjoyed it. I didn't realize how many different nationalities there are in Canada. It was pretty crazy. I did really enjoy the French though. It is always good to be able to practice my French a little even if it is just reading it.

One of the greatest stories from the trip is how good my driving skills are. I may or may not have totally trashed two of my tires. Okay lets me honest I did. I do however feel like it takes a lot of talent to take two of your tires out in one go. I mean honestly I haven’t heard of very many individuals who have succeeding in doing this. One time my mother did so I guess we can form our own club. But I do have a pretty decent reason for why what happened, happened.

Sometimes, I am just driving along in the middle of nowhere Montana. It turns out a lot of Montana seems to be in the middle of nowhere. Anyways, the important stuff. I was just driving along when I saw this black box in the middle of the road. For some reason I thought that it might scratch the bottom of my car, so I tried to avoid it. In the process of this, I ended up just running it over with both of my passenger car tires. I may have said the words, “Oh, shit!” But I feel like there are some moments in life where swearing is appropriate. And this was probably one of those moments. I was real good at life though and I didn't even cry. I made the necessary phone calls and got a hold of this nice man named Adam who could come and help me. There are a number of things that fell into place perfectly which proves that God lives and loves all of his children. Within a few hours we were back on the road heading to Canada.

The main purpose of our trip was to see the Calgary Temple. It was such a beautiful temple and we were also able to visit the Carston temple which was also very beautiful.  I love temples! Nothing to super exciting happened, on the rest of the trip but we all had a super great time. I now am thinking of where I want to go next before my big trip to Ghana. Any suggestions?

I also forgot to mention that I went to Taco Bell! I love going to Taco Bell in different countries! I got some yummy food and it made my day!
