It was a beautiful fall morning and so fun to walk first thing in the morning on our Thursday schedule.  It was still very overcast and there was just enough occasional breeze to sift a few ready leaves from their branches.  There isn’t striking color yet, but the comfort of trees and bushes feels cozy and they are still so beautiful.

We returned to the temple at 1:00 p.m. and had a great shift.  Glade and I led our first session together without mentors, and we felt right at home and loved it.  There is really no down time here and there is a pretty regular flow of patrons that increases over the course of the day. Like other temples, the baptistry schedules groups to come often.  It’s wonderful to see all of these people come and so impressive that they are well-rehearsed in the ordinances. 

Here are a couple of photos from our walk.  I tried to video the leaves falling—it was gorgeous—but when I was ready, the breeze just stopped.  Maybe I can catch some another day.
