Last weekend we had our Special Assembly "Day" but as it turns out we had to make a long weekend of it due to the fact it was 3 hours away! It was held in Page, AZ which is also the location of a great vacation/boating spot called Lake Powell. I spent my summers as a child here at Lake Powell but never really spent any time in the town seeing as I was there to be on the lake and all. But Jeff and I spent quite a bit of time in town this trip. Jeff and I had the privilege of Aux. pioneering for the month of April and it happen that we needed that weekend to make our time,
(see we would be driving up Fri. night and setting up so we would have missed that day too) So our solution was to drive up Thur. night and stay with some friends then head out on a long service day Friday. It was a BEAUTIFUL day and we got to swing by the lake, of course, to show Jeff since he had never been there before. We stopped and had a little brake lake side. That's nice huh?! :) And then met up with everyone else at the Hotel later that evening. It turned out to be fun service day! Then off to the assembly on Sat. I saw so many old faces there. It was kinda weird being back to one of my old assemblies. There are so may new faces but I sure had fun finding some old friends again!
There is a place between Lake Powell and Grand Canyon called Glen Canyon and in it are some amazing places!! So much color, so beautiful! But.....SO HIGH!!! I almost had a heart attack taking these pictures because a few steps away from where I was standing was a shear drop to certain death! AAHHH!! My heart pounds just thinking about it! This place is called Horseshoe Bend. I'm not sure how high above the river we are but I would guess almost 900-1,000 feet high. Next time I visit this place I hope to be looking UP instead of down!
