          It was quiet again today, but our ward had a temple night that made for an evening session.

          The temple experience is very personal to so many patrons.  You can feel their emotion in their body language and countenance and read it in their faces and tear-filled eyes.  Some are thrilled and beaming with joy as they participate.  Others are dealing with loss and the distance that separates them from loved ones who have not embraced the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 

          I still love the daily hugs from people I have never seen before.  Two cute little “older” ladies hugged and kissed me early in the day and the essence of one’s cologne lingered with me for hours—made me smile!

          May your challenges make you strong as you climb toward success.  May your faith in Christ and your family’s salvation be your greatest priorities.  What else matters?

           Sending you all our love!
