So far, today has been.........HOT! Good grief. It is about 10 degrees hotter than what they had anticipated. Sitting in the sun for four hours, two and a half of which we waited for the thing to even start. All in all though it was fun. Our seats were really close to the front and I was three seats away from the center aisle seat. But when the Pope arrived, the two girls where by the wall and I was really close. So the Pope makes a few turns around the crowd in his Mercedes Pope Mobile (I feel like some hero theme song should come on), and than his final drive is up the center aisle where the Pope Mobile drives up the stairs and behind the podium where he sits and preaches. But since I was really close to the aisle I got this sweet picture. I did not zoom in to take this picture, he was this close.

Even though the sun took it out of me completely, Jenni, Alex, Jake, Eddie, Alex, Sarah, and I are going to grab something to eat and than go shopping. Than we have dinner at the hotel tonight and than the international concert at 8:30. I will post something tonight after I get back. See you guys soon! Much love!
P.S. Michelle, How did your first softball game go?
We won 16-1! After striking out miserably my first two times up at bat, I slammed one (I exaggerate) into left field but the guy caught it. Then my fourth time up I had a nice base hit! Pretty exciting. I played catcher all night which worked out pretty well for me.
