And I thought I was cold...

This past week Logan has been pretty frigid. And it just slapped everyone in the face. Like it just hit, out of no where and was freezing. We went from wearing our Gladiator shoes and shorts to our winter coats, scarves and boots.
Literally, the last two days, I've worn a winter coat, sweatshirt, scarf, long sleeved shirt, and pants with leggings under them with boots and two pairs of socks.
It is so frigid.
However, I really enjoy it. I still am in the mood for cold. It's not a hassle to have to grab a coat every time you leave the house yet. It's not annoying just having to shake and shiver all day. And to always be in a blanket or this year, my zebra freaking snuggie. Yeah. Be jealous. I still like it. We'll see how long that lasts.

My roommates and I got hot chocolate yesterday from 7-11. Hershey's Hot Chocolate with 2 cups of vanilla and mini marshmallows. It was the best thing ever. Seriously. It was the best hot chocolate I've ever had. I don't know what it was. But then, Since I always get sick when I have hot chocolate, it's something with the hotness and the chocolate. My stomach doesn't like it. I get sick and feel like I have to throw up every time. But it was still the best hot chocolate.
Anyway.. the point of this blog post. I just keep saying yesterday, "oh its freezing!" "Holy crap! It's cold"
Then we went to my roommates boyfriends house and watched this movie...
                                      
It was incredible. Seriously. I don't even have words to describe it. I cried through the whole thing. It was out of this world. I just can't even begin to grasp how amazing these people were to endure this. And I thank the Lord that I was not one of those people. I would not have been as amazing as they were. They were so faithful. They were so humble. They were so trusting. They were so amazing.
This movie just put it all in perspective. Then it added so much more that two or three years ago, my ward went on trek to Rocky Ridge. This is where these people got stuck in the snow, with no food, no warm clothes, no blankets, no where to sleep, nothing. They had another 300 miles to go until they reached Zion. They were freezing and starving to death but all they wanted was to get to Zion. That's it.

We camped at the place on trek, that help finally came for this handcart company but also where 13 people were buried in one day. The stories of these people are amazing and honestly you just have to see the movie. I want to explain these miracles to you and tell you the miracles that the Lord gave to these incredible pioneers. But really, you just need to see it. Whether you are LDS and that is your heritage or not. It is life changing and you should all see it. They were so many touching scenes. Then on top of all of this, there is this song in it called "Savior, Redeemer of my Soul."  I sang this song in my ward a few months ago and loved it then but now I have this whole new love for it. It plays throughout the movie and everytime it did I'd just burst into tears. It is just the perfect song for the experiences these pioneers had.

Any ways, see the movie. Change your life.
