Salt Lake City



Today Nicks Uncle George and Aunt Susie spoke in church. They just arrived home from being mission presidents in Independence Missouri! It was crazy how many missionaries came up to Utah to their homecoming. Its awesome to think of the influence they have on so many missionaries out there.

They're sacrament meeting started at 2:50 and we werent sure how long it was going to take us to get there. Half way there we realized that we had about an hour to spare so we started thinking of things to do. Alexei and I haven't been to the cemetery in Salt Lake where Nicks Oma and Opa Van Komen are buried so we decided to go check that out. That is THE BIGGEST cemetery i have ever been to in my life!


When we were leaving the cemetery we were having a good time spotting all of the General Authorities of the church that were buried there.
When we saw this one we had to stop and get out.
Gordon B. Hinkley has been the prophet of the church ever since i can remember and he has such an impact on my life.
it was very spiritual seeing his head stone today.
We are so lucky to have such great Prophets to give us guidance in this crazy world.

Afterward we went to George and Susie's home coming and it was so awesome to hear them speak about their experiences. They had an awesome Cello and Piano musical number. For some reason i always feel the spirit strongest during the musical number.
Music has such an influence in my life and im so thankful for it.
It was so great to see The Van Komen family again. Its been a while.
