One of the highlights of our vacation in August was visiting Tucson. I served my mission there 10 years ago and although I didn't have a chance to visit anyone or drive around too much, I really enjoyed being in this great city that I learned to love so deeply. Driving down random streets brought back so many memories and emotions; I tried to savor each minute. I had returned once before when Rob and I were newlyweds, and this time it was really neat to show my children where I served my mission. The heat, the cacti, the U of A campus and the awesome lightening show were all the same. Even though my life had changed, this city I love hadn't--and I really needed that. My testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ was solidified as I walked (and walked and walked and walked) the street of Tucson. That is something in my life that will never change--and for that I am grateful. I am grateful the Lord knows what I need and gives me experiences to prepare me for the joys and challenges ahead.
In honor of this beautiful city I scrapped this LO for our vacation album:
And this one I did for Speed Scrap last night, it is of The Reno. This train is located at Old Tucson Studios and has appeared in over 100 movies. Read more here
What a nice opportunity to revisit the place of your mission. Darling scrap pages!
