This was a late night as we had to stay for a session that went past our shift, and then join our ward in a ward temple night.

 One of our ward members researched a family who had immigrated to the United States from Germany a long time ago and took up residence in a small poor community (can’t remember what state or what dates!) and presented it to the ward family history person who put together a ward temple night to do their ordinance work. 

During church on Sunday, the researching sister gave histories and personal information about the families to give background for tonight’s temple work.  All of the baptisms and confirmations had been done earlier, along with a few other ordinances; but endowments, and sealings took place tonight.

In one of the large sealing rooms, ward members were seated in a manner that created a family tree; and as children were sealed to parents, and then those children were sealed to spouses, they moved across the room in an organized pattern that was quite impressive.  One sister who was observing the whole event said it was great to see how it all came together.  What a blessing for this family and we hope they are rejoicing tonight on the other side of the veil.

Love you all,  Good Night! 😊
