This weekend marks a lot of firsts for me.

It's the first time I'll have been to Moab.  It's the first time I will have ever gone river rafting. And it's the first activity I have planned as the Activities Chair in my ward.  

Exciting.

I enjoy planning things like this. Reminds me of being in student council in high school and getting to plan everything the way I wanted so that it didn't suck and wasn't lame. It's also made me really enjoy my calling and has forced me to get to know a lot of people in my little ward.  And it is little.  Maybe 100 people. Maybe.  But I love it.  A lot of singles wards in SLC are huge.  So huge, that it's impossible to feel any form of community or friendship. But my ward is small and pretty great, I mean, as far as singles wards go. I'v never been too super involved with any ward I've gone to.  Mostly because I've never been in a ward long enough to get super involved, but also because I was fine flying under the radar.  I never wanted to get sucked in too much and end up being the person everyone called on for prayers or talks or whatever.  There's a lot of pressure on those people, ya know?

But, things are good here and we're doing Moab tomorrow.  Not going to lie, I may be most excited for S'mores tomorrow night.

Have fun in Moab! We went a few times when we lived there and always had a blast, even though I almost always got sunburned. Post pics!
