Well, the sister missionary I met several months ago was released yesterday by her SP and I got to finally speak to her for the first time since she transferred out of my ward 3 months ago. For those that don't know what I'm talking about but want the whole story, go here: http://www.lds.net/forums/advice-board/38359-one-more-update-my-story-last-while.html

I am flying out to SLC next Wednesday to spend several days with her for the first time. I'll be staying with my family and we'll both have the entire time to dedicate towards spending time with each other and trying to figure out what the next step might be.

We're both fairly active and enjoy the outdoors. I've got a few things in mind that we can do, but I want to get as many ideas as I can besides just the normal dinner and a movie. I'll be there the 13th through the 18th. Is there anything special going on that weekend?

I don't have any suggestions for things to do around town. But, I do have a suggestion. She, as a recently returned missionary, may be a little weird. She isn't used to being alone with a guy and it may be weird/uncomfortable to go out with you. So, I just caution you to take it slow and read her body language. She may prove me wrong and jump you (here's hoping that for you!), but in case she acts strange, it could be due to feeling weird from being released recently.

Thank you very much for the suggestion and advice and I can confirm that we are already officially in the weird stage despite only speaking to her on the phone. In fact, she called me when she was in the car with just her sister, which I just realized the significance of after reading your post. She has never spoken to me without her companion at her side, so having her sister next to her when she called probably provided her some sense of security. I'll say that even our conversation was a little weird in that it was a bit awkward. I kind of attributed that to the fact that we haven't spoken in 3 months and both of us (or at least I do) probably feel the pressure of trying to rekindle what we both felt before she left over the phone. I don't intend to rush her though and despite the fact that I haven't heard from her today and desperately want to talk to her, I'm not going to call. I realize she's experiencing a wide range of emotion right now beyond just the scope of our relationship and I just intend to back off until she settles in a bit and begins to adjust.
