Just Because

I have the coolest people in my ward and I am fortunate to call many of them friends. One of my all time favorite people is a girl named Emily Utt. Emily works for the Church* (of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) as a historian. My first Sunday in my new ward I knew I wanted to stay after hearing her correct the Gospel Doctrine teacher (in a very fun and very kind way) to tell the correct version of whatever it is we were talking about. She has such passion for church history and is almost always smiling or giggling but is so amazingly smart at the same time. She is guest blogging for a church related site this next week and I thought some of you might be interested to read it. Her first blog is a little about her job and what she does in relation to historic church sites. You can read it here. Check back at this site more this week to see a few more posts by her.

*church hereafter refers to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; my religion. It is so dominant in Salt Lake that we just call it " the church" and everyone knows what we are talking about.
