Shawn and I were diving to his brother's house to help him unload some stuff when we passed by ths house. It was the first time that I have even seen a cactus decorated in lights! As the December month has countined there has been many other decorated cacti. I thought it was amazing. I wonder how they do it so that they don't get poked. I thought others would enjoy it has much as I did. 
We also went to the Mesa, Arizona Temple. They have lights like Temple Square, however, Mesa is a lot smaller and they only do one side so it seems like there are a lot more. It was a lot of fun. It was like walking in a sea of lights. There are so many. It was also a lot of fun to see lights on and in the plam trees. It was so unique and different compare to all the trees in Utah.
There was also a ton of missionaries out, each one trying to share the good news with everyone. I was surprised that we only got stopped twice because they were so many. The first missionary was from Sandy, Utah. He was very excited to talk to use until Shawn told him I was from Salt Lake City, Utah. His expression immediatedly dropped and he told us to have nice night. The second one was not going to give up as easy. He was from Montana. He heard I was from Salt Lake City, Utah and his excited expression stayed the same; however, it immediately dropped when Shawn told him we were married in the Salt Lake City Temple. Nevertheless, he did encrouage us to keep up on our missionary work. It was a good time, despite seeing the disappointed expressions on the missionaries' faces. With this experiece Shawn and I were able to see where we were with our missionary work and where we could improve. It felt so good to be surrounded by the glow of the lights and see the excitement about the birth of the Savoir.
