The Hills Are Alive...

...with the smell of sulfur (ah, ah, ah, ahhhh). Last night we decided to head up Spanish Fork Canyon with a group of people from my ward to hike a trail that leads up to some hot springs. I'd been there before a few years ago, so I was put in charge of not getting us lost. I vaguely knew where it was, but wasn't exactly positive.

Turns out the trailhead is much further down the road than I thought, so it seemed like we were driving for hours. Luckily I got us to where we needed to go...definitely a good thing because pretty sure I would be shunned in my ward if I got us all lost.

The hike was also a lot longer than I thought it would be, but it was definitely worth it! Yay for hot springs!

We got a little bored on the long ride there

On another note...

I taught Relief Society today! The lesson was on a talk by President Eyring from General Conference in April called "The True and Living Church." I was mega nervous because I have never taught a class like that in my life and there are like 75 girls in the class. Talk about intimidating! And it probably didn't really help that I went to bed at 2:30am and had to wake up at 7 (note to self: midnight hikes are not always a good idea when you have church at 9 the next day).

Lucky for me, though, the lesson went suprisingly well! Everybody participated a ton - always a good thing - and crazy as it sounds I actually enjoyed teaching. You definitely learn a crazy amount of stuff when you have to teach it, and going over the lesson this week was a huge blessing. As much as loved teaching, I'm quite glad it's over and that I won't have to teach much now that we have instructors.
