Today, we flew to Salt lake city with the expectations to well....there werent really any. We came here for the grappe men to learn how to shoot an animal from over a mile away. We are going to Logan, Utah for the boys to take a long range shooting class in the morning and tuesday. Mary Lou and I just came along for the ride.
First of all, we had a three hour layover in Albuquerque, NM and i seriously believe it is the butthole of the United States. When we finally got here, we went to the Mormon temple and the took our own tour of the grounds and took pictures of it. My youngest brother in law, seriously is making a mormon documentary while we are here and its funny. Anyways when we were taking our own tour, the mormon employees wanted so desperately to talk and make sure we were mormon and when we werent, the comedy began. I felt a little preyed on, and in a sense got a different perspective as far as ministering to people. I felt like i knew what its like for an unbeliever to get preached at on the street and I always believed that loving a person first and foremost regardless of all circumstances is the best route to witness to someone instead of beating the crap out of them with the bible and try to get into bible fight. It really is an eye opener when your on the flip side, and know so surely that they are wrong, and them think so surely that we are wrong. So....I prayer walked all over that place, haha." HA, TAKE THAT!", i thought. So on a lighter note, Im making a list of things about Salt Lake City, Utah. These are things so far:
1) MORMONS are everywhere, haha
2) Fanny packs might as well be a religion as well

3) Its an extremely clean and good looking town
4) Its smaller than it looks
5)EVERYTHING is closed on sundays
The list will continue throughout the trip...and here are a some pictures i took today.
This is Charles Barkley, our english bulldog, whom i woke up this morning because he was sleeping in my suitcase, haha.
This is the Mormon temple of latter day saints, and is undeniably beautiful and at the tip of it you can see the angel blowin a horn, and you cant go in there unless you are mormon.
This is picture of a building under construction and there are two orange boxes up there that are potties! I took a picture because i thought it was funny for one to be up on a 5th floor, and because i thought it would suck to be the person to bring those down.
Welp tootles, haha
