Bondehagen Wedding

On August 1st, Natalie, one of my best friends, married her sweetheart, Erik Bondehagen. They were married in the Timpanogas Temple and I was lucky enough to be able to attend their ceremony. It was actually a little crazy: the Sunday before the wedding I realized that my temple recommend would expire on July 31st, so I had a rush to get it renewed before Thursday! Then, we're at the temple, and it hadn't been activated yet! Luckily, they were able to confirm that it was a real recommend & let me in. 

Emily watched Ellie during the ceremony & left some cute pictures on my phone. 

Dinner up Provo Canyon.

Hong Kong: Kowloon

For our last day in Hong Kong we went out to Kowloon to go to the temple.

It was amazing. The interior was very simple and elegant. It was the

perfect blend of the LDS church and Chinese feel. We did a session in Cantonese, 

so I had to wear the headphones, but that actually helped me learn a lot more.

It was a really neat experience!

If you look really hard you can see Moroni in the background! 

Lunch! 

That evening we took another lovely, winding bus ride up to Victoria Peak 

to look at the skyline. It was awesome and a great way to end our trip!

mmmm. . . fuzzy hair!

Hong Kong at night!
