Kenzie and I went to Portland with the other young women and leaders for a night. I was recently put in as yw president so we have a new presidency now. Heather and Shannon were the other leaders that came with me. We had 6 young women attend. It was a lot of fun! We got there late Friday night. We stayed at a lady in our stake's mom's house in Lake Oswego. On Friday morning we woke up and went to the Portland Temple to do baptisms.
We hadn't been able to make an appointment so we just showed up hoping they wouldn't be too busy to accommodate us. It turned out that the huge group that was supposed to show up at that time, didn't come so it was just us. It worked our perfectly!
Kenzie, Lorelei, Delaynie, MOrgan, Paisley, Jase
When we came out of the temple it, there was a couple coming out too (from a different door) that we're pretty sure had just been sealed to each other and their kids. It was pretty fun to see their excitement!
It's so pretty!
Then, after a quick stop at Target, we went to see the Portland troll. We're hoping to take the yw to see all the ones in Washington in the next year or two so we thought it would be fun to start with this one.
We went to Powell's Books in downtown Portland (and walked through some sketchy parts!) then had lunch at Cane's before heading home. Kenzie, Jase, and I had never been, but the others all had been there. I thought it was like any other chicken strips I've had and don't quite understand all the hype about it. I guess others just really love the sauce, and I thought it was just okay. Kenzie felt the same as me. It was fun to go though and try it for ourselves :)
