Orem Temple with Sherilee

Sherilee and I went to the new Orem Temple for an endowment session on November 6th,  before we headed to her cabin for a couple days of retreat.  It is a beautiful temple, as they all are.  As we were coming out, who should I meet (and hold the door for), but Michael McLean - the mastermind behind "The Forgotten Carols".  I recognized him immediately, but couldn't remember his name, so I just said, "Hey !  You are the Forgotten Carol's guy!".  He was very gracious.  I guess I got payback yesterday on Sunday, when I was referred to as the "Piano Girl" by one of the kids in Primary (haha).

Back to the Temple with Mom

 After our Tuesdays being interrupted with my mowing. We were able to make it back to the Ogden temple for sealings. It was a good morning.

Every other Tuesday morning with Mom at the Temple

More Sealings with Mom

 Went with Mom to an early morning sealing sessions on May 28th.  In the session with us was Kari Ward (new married name).  She and her mother used to do Bountiful Baskets with me.  She looked happy.  We saw Lynette Stephens, but her husband Calvin was not our sealer this time. 

Layton Temple Open House

Today I took Mom and LuAnn with me to the Layton Temple Open House.  It is a beautiful temple.  The upholstery was amazing, the baptismal font waiting area was alot smaller than Ogden's, and a saw a picture of the Savior in the chapel that I had never seen before.  It was a good day at the soon to be dedicated temple. 

 

Thatcher is enjoying the Temple

Thatcher has been going to temple quite a bit with his friends from church and school.  He's been doing names for my mom.  The other day, he was able to be baptized for his Great Great Uncle, Benny Ray Colson, who died in 1979, shortly after Ambure died.  Ben was Roger's Aunt Judy's husband, and we received permission from her to have his work done.  Now, Chans will get his initiatory and endowment done, along with his son Greg's work.  

Sealings with Mom

 Mom and I went to the Ogden temple, early this morning and did some sealings.  We saw Calvin and Lynette Stephens, and Calvin was actually the sealer for part of our session.  We got alot accomplished.  It was a good morning in the temple with my mom.  When we got home, we found out that my dad's sister, my Aunt Barbara had passed away during the night.  I bet that reunion with her husband, and parents and sisters was extra special.  I know God lives and loves us.  I know Jesus atoned for our sins and short-comings, and that through his we will all LIVE AGAIN after we die here on this earth.  Oh what a sweet sweet thought that is.  There is life after death.  Death is NOT the end.  What a reunion it will be.   

Brigham City Temple for the first time

I went to the Brigham City Temple on May 10th, all by myself.  I did an endowment session, and one initiatory name.   I had never been to this temple before.  When they were building it, my friend Theresa and I stopped by on our way home from the Logan Temple, but we just drove around the block.   A year or two ago, as Brightyn and I were driving to Corinne for Hayleigh's baby shower, she spotted it off in the distance from the interstate, and exclaimed, "Grandma, there's a fairy princess castle!".   It was a good day in the temple.  

Morning at the Temple

 Another morning at the temple with Mom.  I sure love her. 

Two times in Two Days

I went with LuAnn to the Ogden Temple for an endowment session on April 17th in the afternoon, then got up really early and went with Mom on April 19th at 6:45 am for an initiatory session.

It was great to be back again.  After Conference, I've dedicated myself to do better at temple attendance.
