         The people on the excursion here stayed until the temple closed tonight so it was busy all day and evening.  The patrons bring so many family names with them and are anxious to get as much work done for them as they possibly can.  They take names from baptisms through the other ordinances right to the sealings and hurry from one session to another.  

         There were two tiny little ladies that I have seen here before who are just delightful.  Although they are quite elderly, don’t hear well, and can’t read, they are very spunky and anxious to participate.  They come from a much warmer climate and wear oversized white knitted hats and white crocheted shawls to keep warm.   It was a delightful group and they are all headed home now—the old and the young, the families and the singles, the experienced and the new.  But they are all alike in their desire to have their own work done and then to include the work for their families. 

         We are happy for the week-end now and a chance to rest.  We are not spring-chickens ourselves and start to drag a little by Saturday night.

         Have a restful and renewing Sabbath Day.  Love to all--
