Every transfer, the missionaries are excited to go to the Imperial Sand Dunes. Sometimes we beg off, because we have a busy day and have already been there many times. But today we joined the group and rode in the party van with five of the sisters.
It was, of course, a ton of fun. Now that the weather isn’t so hot, we don’t have to get up before dawn. It also means the dune racers are out– hundreds of people flock to the desert with their ATVs, UTVs, and dirtbikes. We claimed a spot at the top of a prominent dune and spent a couple hours hanging out, snowboarding (err, sandboarding), eating, chatting, laughing, and generally enjoying a gorgeous day.
It included a tense game of… chess?
Someone had the idea of forming the word JESUS in the sand. If you stand back and squint your eyes just right, you can make out the word…
Happily, there was some ultimate as well.
Good times.
