Deep Thoughts

"Great things are brought about and burdens lightened through the efforts of many hands “anxiously engaged in a good cause.” Imagine what the millions of Latter-day Saints could accomplish in the world if we functioned like a beehive in our focused, concentrated commitment to the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ." M. Russell Ballard October 2012 General Conference

I Love To See the Temple

This was Cayden's first experience doing baptisms for the dead.  The youth had a temple trip to the St. George temple on August 16.  I had been doing some family history research and several names that needed baptisms.  Grandma and grandpa kept Kyle so Don and I could go with the youth.  Don did the baptizing for our kids and several of the youth.  I felt the spirit so strongly in that room while I was watching my boys and the kids from our ward doing ordinances for their own family members.  The temple was very accommodating and got the cards stamped quickly after the baptisms and confirmations.  I was able to take 5 female cards and go upstairs and do those 5 initiatory ordinances.  It had to wait about 45 minutes to get in but the youth were finishing up and I really wanted to have some of those names ready for endowments.  It was a great experience and I am so glad that I could go with my boys and Don.
