I survived

This morning was rough. At 6:15am I had to run every single stair of this building.


Literally, every stair in the Marriott Center was touched by my foot, some even multiple times. Including the ones in the nose bleeds section that you can barely even see in this picture.
However, a little while after that tough battle, I had a wonderful experience in that same building. I was able to be in the same room as the prophet. It was awesome. I loving hearing his stories and talks. I especially love how funny his is. Today really reaffirmed my love for the prophet.

The best moment of the day is sitting in a packed Marriott Center with about 30,000 people talking. Then what seems all at once it falls silent and everyone stands up while President Monson walks in. It was one of the coolest experiences of my life and I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to be so close to a prophet of God.
