La Gran Aventura Day 37: The Temple and The Peanut Butter Burger

Tuesday, January 16, 2024

This morning I woke up and posted to the blog again. I’m trying to get caught up.

Betty and I went on a walk/jog again. It was a beautiful morning, and we had a great chat about what we want out of our later years. While we were walking Betty looked at me and said: “I want to die walking like this.” I couldn’t agree more, but I hope that day doesn’t come for a long, long time. We’ve got so much to do together before either of us checks out of this life.

Anahi sometimes gets a strange infection in her mouth. It’s flared up a couple of times in the past several months, and today it flared up again. Thankfully, we were able to get some medicine, and she should be feeling better soon.

In the evening, Betty and I went to do a session in the Timpanogos temple with Zack and Annie. It was great to do an endowment session after so long. We’ve been really focused on baptisms for a while, and I love the Timpanogos temple. It’s where I served as a temple worker for so long.

After dinner, Zack and Annie took us to Chubby’s for dinner. When I saw that they offer a peanut butter burger I had to try it -- not because I love peanut butter but because when you see something to eat that you know you won’t find anywhere else, my philosophy is: try it out! This burger had peanut butter, bacon jam, cheddar cheese, and candied jalapeños -- and it was really good. I definitely recommend it.

We finished off the evening by watching BYU beat Iowa State in what is probably our best win of the year so far. They played great!
