Atim took me on another incredible date. He is so good at spoiling me rotten, and taking me on the best dates. I have always wanted to fly in a small airplane, and he made it happen for me. We went up to Ogden, and flew over Salt Lake City. It was breathtaking. Atim got to actually fly the plane. We had an instructor of course with us, but he did a lot of the flying. He loved it and was on cloud 9. The pilot would flip the plan, and let's just say my stomach dropped, but it was so awesome.
The view of the temple was absolutely breathtaking. It was definitely my favorite part.
This guy makes me pretty dang happy. He is so good to me, and really does bring out the best in me. Plus he is really good looking.
After we went and flew he took me to an African Restaurant. I am not going to lie I was pretty dang nervous to eat African food. Especially when they brought it to the table, but it was actually really really good. You ate everything with your hands which was really different. Atim was so good at it, and had perm grin the whole time. It was really cool to experience part of his culture. Tonight we were able to talk about where he came from. He literally escaped Africa with his mom. She sacrificed so much to get them to America. When he came to America he was part of a gang, and lived a really rough life. His brother got shot at, and gave them all a wake up call. His mom moved them to Pennsylvania. Atim prayed that he would find God in his life. Two weeks later the missionaries came knocking at his door. He then was able to join the church. His family disowned him, but he remained faithful. It was amazing to hear his story. It made me really grateful for being able to be raised by an LDS family and to be born in America. His story made me want to be a better person, and to become more converted. The night ended with a walk around Temple Square. I really love being around Atim. He told me that he loved me tonight. It was definitely a night that I will not forget.
