Journal Gems: Yellow House

Yellow House was definitely where I needed to be in the summer (Logan 2016). I convinced Ryan Wood to be my roommate, so we shared a room. The house was awesome, and Ryan and I got the tiny room downstairs, but there are four rooms and eight guys, one shower, two bathrooms, two fridges, but the living room and backyard COMPLETELY made up for the smallness of the room Ryan and I shared. Live in a small space? Again, cross it off the bucket list. We had a big tire swing on a tree in the backyard, and if you looked out the window just right, you could see THE TEMPLE! My roommates: Ryan Wood, Josh Snyder, Matt Soelberg, Danny Fullmer, Hank Costner, Jordan Cline, and Kody Sanchez. Great, great guys to live with.

I switched wards, too. Yellow House is on Darwin Avenue, literally next to the Institute building. So I got to walk to Church- 15 seconds. The 18th Ward was definitely something else. Our ward consisted of all the houses on Darwin Avenue. I also got a calling to be a Home Teaching District Coordinator- basically, be in charge of half the Elder’s Quorum and remind them to do their Home Teaching. It was a little crazy for me but it helped me grow. It was especially crazy at the end of the month!
