Preparation day Cinco de Mayo! Halfway through home MTC!

Elder Johnson loves the outdoors and so we decided that every preparation day, we would go up to vedauwoo and go on an adventure.  Last p-day we hiked in vedauwoo (pictures to come) and it was probably the most beautiful day we have ever seen up there.  It had just snowed the night before, but as the morning progressed the snow began to melt and there were waterfalls coming off of the rocks everywhere.  The sky was crystal clear, the air was still, clean and fresh.  The sound of water falling off the rocks, the gurgling, bubbling and splashing made for a magnificent experience with Elder Johnson.  

This p-day, we decided to bring our bikes to vedauwoo and because it had snowed again, we enjoyed riding through the snow covered path.  We found some hidden gems a long the way (I'd like to imagine that no one has ever been where we went) like the little stream that we found at the end of our trail.  Elder Johnson and I are a lot alike, we both enjoy adventure, we both like a challenge, neither of us mind getting dirty, sweating or even sometimes bleeding.  And we just really enjoy leaving behind all our cares to just go have an adventure.  We honestly don't talk a lot, but I do notice that we are laughing a lot.  We stayed as long as the weather allowed us and then we hurriedly pedaled our way back up the trail, which had turned into a boggy mess.  It wouldn't have been so hard, but Elder Johnson and I had played a few games of dodge ball the night before and all that sprinting made our quads extraordinarily sore.  Our legs were on fire as we pedaled over the muddy trail, but we muscled through it just fine.  I love being Elder Johnson's companion, he is kind, soft spoken and is just super chill and find that really soothing.
