Friday morning sealings - I was a witness !

Today I dropped Roger off at work, and headed to the Ogden temple to do some sealings.  Some observations.  I saw two sisters that I know, one is divorced, and the other has an inactive husband like me.  They were there.  Good for all of us.  It's hard, but we will keep on going.  Prior to doing the sealing, I had sat down at my computer earlier that morning, and printed out some Temple Ready ordinances from Family Search.  I did 4 husband/wife sealings, and 5 daughter sealings to parents.  The sealer was named Penn Hollister, and he was great.  I was asked at one point to be a witness to the sealings that were taking place !  That was pretty exciting, and came about as a result of the last temple/baptism changes that were announced just before General Conference a week prior.   It was a great morning in the temple.

Ward Temple Night

It was our ward temple night tonight.  I left work early and picked up LuAnn.  Jill Hatch also rode with us and met her husband Ed there. Our goal was the 6:30 session, and we made it.   Unfortunately we were the only ones from our ward who went, excepting Lauri and Mark Robinson, who were there for their grandson, Elder Ferrin who was receiving his endowments in anticipation of his upcoming mission to Oaxaca, Mexico.  There may have been others who went during the day, or to another session, but it was disappointing for sure that more didn't take the time (I know it's hard) or MAKE the time.
