Sunday May 20

Happy Happy Birthday Emmy!!!!!

We've had a pretty great day here.

We got up and got ready and had breakfast here at the hotel.

We left a little after 10:30 and rode the Subway to church.

The church is in the same building that the temple is.

It was pretty cool.

It was crazy to go from the crazy, busy, noisy outside, get in an elevator, and instantly be transported to a regular church building!

Pretty neat.

It was a pretty large ward.

Lots of young families.

It was a really great meeting.

There has been a lot of talk of love lately....loving others that are different, loving those with mental sickness, loving those with addictions.

And todays talks were a lot of that kind of stuff.

And how we can love better.

After church we walked to Central Park.

It was a really nice day, a little overcast for a bit, then the sun came out.

It was really humid today!

But maybe that is always how it is :)

Anyway, the park was nice.

Then we went and had lunch at Ruby Tuesdays

We hopped back on the Subway to go back to Time Square, so we could get to the Gerald Schoenfeld theatre.

We went to see 'Come from Away'.

Oh it was just amazing!!!!!

We had really good seats and I felt like I was just part of the show.

The story is about the small town of Gander.

On 9/11, planes were diverted there.

They doubled their population in just hours.

The town fed, clothed, and gave beds to them for a few days.

It was a great story about the good people of Gander, but also the stories of the passengers.

SO GOOD!!!!

After that, we walked around.

We went to Bryant park, that is kind of the backyard to the New York Public Library.

Just hung out there for a bit before we decided to go to whole foods and get some snacks to have in the hotel, and grab some dinner as well.

Now we are back in the hotel, hoping to get to bed at a good time, so we can start again tomorrow :)

Sounds like things went good at home.

They even sent me a Sunday picture....so sweet!

And a picture with Everly at church :)
