Portland Day 16 - EVEN MORE SUNSHINE!

This post is going to be about church. I'm not quite sure how I feel about the Singles' scene out here yet. I've heard it's supposed to be pretty good. Until I showed up to church the first day here and everyone was like 18. Ok, that's stretching it. I've been to church 3 times now and each time it gets better. I met some really great quality people today and am getting to know more and more people. The ward is actually an older ward, but there are a lot of kids that come home for the summer.

Here's the thing though. I'm not used to being in a ward of 18 - 30+ yr. olds. My last ward back in Provo was FAB. Everyone was mostly older, around the same age as me and mostly going through the same life experiences. Here, however, there is such a different mix of people. You have people making comments in class about their high school days, about college, about work experience, etc. I just feel like the quality of church here isn't where I would like it to be. Not anywhere near my last ward in Provo. Ok, near, yes. But that's about it. I guess it's my time to SHINE!! I'll show 'em how it's done..... At least it's a very social ward/stake and there is always tons to do and opportunities to meet new people. That's the good aspect of it. Very social.
