This postEarly this morning I decided to take the 6:50 bus to the Provo temple. On my walk up to campus (I left at 6:30), I only saw three people. Three! I guess it was 6:30 a.m. on a Saturday. :) Anyway, I got to the bus stop, sat down, and started reading from the Book of Mormon. When 6:50 rolled around, I walked over to the schedule to make sure the bus was coming. And it turns out that the earliest bus on Saturdays (for that route) comes at 7:55. I knew I should’ve checked the schedule first. ~sigh~ I contemplated going to work for an hour and then taking the bus, since it’d be another 20-25 minutes of walking and that seemed like a long time, but then I realized that people all over the world travel for hours, days, and sometimes even weeks to get to the temple. Walking 40 minutes is nothing. So I shut up and walked, and it was great. :)
In other good news, I discovered my long-lost Shanks genealogy folder while decluttering my room. I’d tried to find it several times before but couldn’t, and now I know why: it was buried at the very bottom of one of my two mission boxes. I’m really glad I didn’t lose it, because there were lots of copies of records (like the legislative petition Robert Shanks signed back in 1817) that would be a pain to get again. I really ought to start scanning in stuff like that…
