          We were in the temple for ten hours today and the sessions were packed.  There was a beautiful wedding and several young people came to the temple for the first time bringing with them friends and family.  Even the 5:30 a.m. session was full and extra chairs were needed all day.  There were five sessions on our shift and lots of youth doing baptisms.  It was amazing!

          After a bit of a rest, we did laundry and house cleaning and then were really ready for sleep.  While Glade waited for the towels to dry I took a walk around the temple grounds enjoying the soft warm breeze and peaceful evening.  I sat on a stone bench and watched as the lights came on all over the city and spread up the hillsides.  Only at night can we tell that this city is so huge.  It was a beautiful view and it felt good to be outside and have some time to ponder and reflect.

          Hope all of you wonderful people out there had a great day.  All my love to you!
