The Feeling of Home



Yesterday was the 4th of July! It was a lovely day with a stake breakfast and lots of games. I played with Jason on the playground, took him to the Bounce House, and blew huge bubbles, then we ran around while I taught him to play Ultimate Frisbee. It was great fun! After sleeping and studying French I went to work and only had to stay for two hours cause business was so slow. And the highlight of the day, fireworks of course!


We went out to Burley and sat on a lovely golf course next to the river and watched the fireworks explode right over our heads. The set-off site was literally 100 yards away. It sounded like a hundred Calvary Horses charging the battlefield, with large cannons booming in the background. It looked as though the fireworks would fall on top of us, the streams of fiery light extinguishing at the last moment. Patriotic music seemed like whispers compared to the explosive sounds yet I was pleasantly surprised to hear EFY music coming across the speakers. I felt strangely nostalgic and was once again reminded of the feeling of home.
