Temple Trip With Pinky

We went to the Medford temple today, it was Ward temple day and our youth were doing baptism also. We left the house around 830, Pinky and G Ida came with Steven and I. We had heard that there was snow forcast for the valley floors on Sat. and true to its word, snow we got. But it was on Gardner hill!, big flakes and flurries...it was so cool. We hit blue skys and billowing white clouds further down the road, and then more snow and more sleet and then more sunshine, all the way to the temple the weather was changing. It was an amazing day weather wise, but more amazing was the work we did at the temple. We got G Ida sealed to her parents, Alphonso and Melvina ( yep, thats my name sake) Alphonso to his parents, Emeline Melissa and Henry Thomas White, and G Ida's grandparents Edith Charlotte and Edward Henry Stumpf sealed to each other. What a wonderful experience that was. . Pinky did her Steve's grandmothers work and dad did Pinky's dad's work!! We were all one big family doing family work for our loved ones. The Suckows and the Scotts and Heidi Clark were there too.
Who knew that geneology could be so stinkin' much fun!! Pinky and I outside after our sessions.

This was such a great day! I loved all the temple workers, they all pitched in and helped us get all of our records figured out after "I" messed them up! Opps! Luell was such a sweetie, helping me get the initiatory done for our G-ma just in time for the Endowment session! and for rushing through her baptism and witnessing it with me. Thank You Luell! Thank you to steve and Lyn for driving through the most mercurial weather I have EVER seen! and for Steve getting my father's endowment done! he's waited a long time. Thank You Lyn and Ida for a great visit down and back... we solved so many problems of the world! He He! Thank you most of all for just being your wonderful selves. Wish Sue had been there! Miss you Suzy Q. :o)
