Bountiful Temple with family

Today I took Mom and Dad down to the Bountiful temple where we met Erika, Aaron, Tiana, and Brian.  We completed an Endowment Session.  It was great to be together.  So glad that we were able to go in between snow storms, and the roads were good.

Cedar City Temple Open House

I stopped by on my way to St. George meetings.  It was beautiful.  I loved the paintings, some of which I had never seen before.  Also the stained glass (taken from a Presbyterian church back east) was spectacular.  There were hints of Juniper trees and columbine in the motif.  It is a small temple, and sits high up on the hill.  You can see it as you are coming from the North, but not the South.  Best way to get to it is to take the 2nd? exit, the one that has a lighthouse by it.  So glad I took the opportunity to stop.

Cleaning the Temple

I signed up to clean the Ogden Temple last night/this morning.  I worked there from 9:35 pm (we actually started cleaning at about 10:15 pm), and stopped at 12:25 am.  I worked with Melanie Rose, and we "mopped" the tile and marble floors in the basement of the temple, including the cafeteria, laundry, engineering rooms.  What a wonderful experience.  One I will definitely do again if I have the chance.

Early Morning at the Temple

I met Mom and Dad at the Ogden temple today.  It's been a long time since I've been.  It was good to be back.  We did Initiatory Work.  I love my parents and their dedication to the temple.

To the Temple with LuAnn

Grandma Ben (LuAnn) wanted to get as many of the family together as possible, and all of us go to the temple.  It was a great afternoon, and a special time to be together.  Kerry, Joni, Landon, Kacey, Chans, Tausha, LuAnn, Hunter, and Eric (and myself - not pictured) were able to go.  Keysto and Kaley were stuck in traffic in the canyon, and didn't make the 3pm session.

Some of the people I knew and saw there that afternoon were, Kraig and Debra Walker, George and Margaret Hopkin, and Mr. Russell (Don Russell) - my 6th grade school teacher, and Jan Gailey.  I hope to be able to work in the temple one day.
