Yesterday I went for a long walk and today I helped out with the Draper Temple tours.
Though today isn't long, it only feels long due to yesterday's walk.
I decided to try out a Boy Scout activity where you would flip a coin or so at each intersection and depending on what it landed on, you'd turn a certain direction. I thought I'd just keep walking and see where I ended up.
I used two coins; on heads I'd turn right, tails I'd turn left, and inconclusive I'd go forward.
The coins took me around Orem and nowhere else. I looped around a few neighbourhoods and saw 15 different LDS chapels.
I walked a total of a little over 10 hours, giving me approximately 18.5 miles.
During my walk, I stumbled upon an old heritage house of Lindon; the Alfred Harper House.
It was built in 1876 by an LDS member and was well known for a well, with a bucket and dipper. Passers-by were all welcomed to drink from the well and in 1987, it was listed on the National Register of Historical Places.
I reached back home legs aching and barely moving.
I thought this tunnel view also looked nice; it was the Lindon Heritage Trail.
Today, we went to the Draper Temple open house to help with the tour.
Elder Tuckett helped in the Telestial room, and later moved down to the screening room.
Sister Tuckett was in the Celestrial room and commented how people loved the room.
Jenny and John were in the Marriage Waiting Room where people would begin the tour from. They were to help push people through the tour who required wheelchairs, but those that did generally had a family member or friend pushing already. So they went nowhere.
I myself was in the Terrestrial room. My legs felt better while standing in there and pacing around that it is now. I guess I really do need to just walk it off.
