Wednesday in Calgary!!

So today was a lot of fun! We left our wonderful lodging that my amazing mother set up for us. It was like an apartment. It had 2 rooms, a bathroom, a living room and a kitchen! Can I just tell you that my mother is AWESOME!!! I absolutely love her. So we were on the road, and we headed up towards Calgary! The drive was actually not that bad at all, maybe like an hour or so. Our first stop was the Olympic Park. Now that was cool! I would put some pictures up...however it says that my gmail account picture thing is full.. hm anyways so we got to go inside the bobsled and stuff, we also filmed us jumping inside of it! After that we went out to eat some lunch. we stopped at some mall and then after that we all went walking around the mall. Then we came to the Wilmot Familys house. This is a member that was in one of Shanes area on the mission. We are staying with them tonight. After we sat and talked for a while then sister Wilmot piled us up in her car and we all went to the train station. ( its like a light rail) We rode that to down town Calgary. We first went to the Calgary Tower, which was super sweet. At the top of the tower there is this clear glass floor. We stood on top of it and took some sweet pictures. It was scary because you saw millions of stories beneath you leading to the cement!! After that we walked around up and down the streets to China town. That was neat to see, ha reminded me of NY and people trying to sell you things. Then we all continued walking around looking at all the cool buildings and shops. We all got some super yummy smoothies and then headed back to the tracts. I sat next to 2 young men from Africa that was super awesome. Then another guy came and sat next to us and I asked him where he was from and he said Africa as well. Small world. Then we waited for the Wilmots to pick us up. We then went to this  place called Petes. Its just a hamburger place. The portions were HUGE! ha felt like I should have been in America. Following dinner we all went to the temple cite where the Calgary Temple is going to be. Then came home, played some rock band and planned for the adventures tomorrow! Better get some rest! Good night Canada!
