This past weekend I spent Friday/Saturday in Guayaquil with my mom and dad at the temple. We managed to find Lindsey and Jared who were in a 200 kid group doing other things at the temple. They had it pretty rough... 8 hour bus ride there, 8 back, little food, not water given to them.... Not unlike a prison (hah). So we took pity on them and crammed them in our hotel room Friday night. But it was such a wonderful experience to do 2 sessions at the temple with my parents. Especially before I go serve my mission in less than 2 weeks. It's getting down to the wire and my nerves were pretty bad last week, but going to the temple brought me a lot of comfort. It made me remember why I'm doing what I'm doing and willing to serve for so long. Here are a few pictures of the temple!

Day 2:
Saturday we got out of the temple around 11 or so and had the rest of the day to do things before our flight at 7 pm so we took a taxi around the city. Here are a few snaps I took. Guayaquil doesn't really have much to offer besides our 3 hour taxi ride though, so don't spend your money here- Quito is waaay more worth your time!

| Old church near Iguana Park |

| While walking on the boardwalk, this uber old looking boat passed by. |
 |
| Clock tower of awesomeness |
 |
| No idea who this guy is, but his mustache was too rad not to snap a photo of. This pic doesn't do it justice, but it curls at the end and comes off his face. |
 |
Las Peynas hill- pretty pastel houses under a lighthouse
(really the only thing worth seeing in Guayaquil besides the temple) |
 |
Side note- at the airport on Friday, there was a Johnny Rockets and I got an oreo shake and fries.
Best decision ever made. |
Love my parents and loved this weekend with them :)
