(also I'm pretty sure my ward only ever had us sing the 1st verse but I could be remembering wrong)

xD

I have an apricot tree in my yard (though it's slowly dying), I think of that song every time I see it.

[Through the living jeff he/him(straight)]

That was one of my favorite primary songs!

And it came to pass that they became exceedingly sour...

Got to attend the Orem temple dedication on Sunday. It was pretty amazing.

We've got a lot of people in this thread who are from the central Utah area.  For any such participants who enjoy uplifting entertainment, check out Heart + Voice.  Rachel Ellingson, one of the founders of the group, is a childhood friend of mine, and they've got a new show coming up next month, put on for free at various local meetinghouses, about Alma the Younger and the Sons of Mosiah.  Their previous shows have been really good, so I'm looking forward to this next one!

I didn't go to the dedication, but I went to the open house! It's a beautiful temple.

I have yet to actually set foot in the temple itself.  I missed the open house, and the dedication was broadcast to stake centers. I can't wait to actually go, though.

Aww, it's so pretty!! It's very pink and cherry themed inside, and way bigger than it looks from the outside.

I can see the stained glass from the outside and on that basis alone, I think it's one of the prettiest temples. (Saratoga Springs is also up there.)

Man, church at 1:30 is definitely not my favorite time...but it's better than 9! Maybe!

I taught the lesson in YW today, guys I had such a crazy week and hadn't even read it until last night, and I'm so glad I got to. In 2 Nephi 1, it talks a lot about chains, and one verse (I want to say 23, but I can't remember) also mentions that armor of God, and we had such a cool discussion about choosing your weight. Because chains and armor are both so heavy, but we can choose whether we was weight that protects us or weight that keeps us down. If you didn't have a chance to read this week's come follow me, go do it!! Even if you just skim! It's so powerful, especially realizing that these are Lehi's last words. This was what he chose to say, as he was dying. 

...anyway happy Sunday <33
