Fist Fight

Ok So much has happened lately that I didn't know where to start but I think this event tops it all. A couple of Sundays ago we were at church in the middle of taking the sacrament when suddenly a fist fight broke. I seriously didn't know what to do as I was watching in horror. The funny part of this is that the brother that actually blessed the sacrament grabbed one of the boys and with all his strength took him outside. Ok I apparently was the only one surprised about this event I guess it has happened before but of course I'm new and I don't really know what normal is here. I've seriously seen it all and I'm just soooooo thankful that I have the gospel in my life and the spirit of the Lord to protect me :) It is crazy here from the narrow streets, one way streets, the stop lights hidden under trees and suddenly you have to slam on your brakes cause oh yeaaaaaah there's a red light under the tree on my left oops. Our hood is ok we are getting used to it. It will be a slow process for sure but it will happen eventually. I am making wonderful friends that are totally supporting me during this horrible pregnancy. I've been so sick it's not even funny. Getting into the dr here is a total joke. There is a lot of crime in center Philly and our first week here some murderer escaped from a car on the way to prison and of course I was totally freaking out. I could spend pages after pages filled with drama but I have decided to keep a positive attitude and maybe things will be better :). We have toured the city a little and it has been fun. we had our first visitor Lance Palmer, Dallin's brother and it was just sooooo fun to spend time with family. We miss everyone lots and we totally miss Utah but we are here for 4 years not forever. I'll try to keep my blog more updated. Enjoy the pics!!
