We left for the temple at 12:30 p.m. and returned at 10:30 p.m.  It was our ward temple night—can you imagine that a ward made up entirely of temple missionaries who do a shift every day in the temple still have a ward temple night—and after our regular shift we helped with another sister’s family work.  Glade and I acted as proxy for a couple and did initiatory, endowment and sealings.  There were eight children sealed to “us”—six girls and two boys!  That was a little humorous.  I wonder what life would have been like to raise six girls!  Then some of those children were sealed to their spouses and one had four children sealed to them.  The director started with everyone on one side of the sealing room and as each family was sealed, they moved to the opposite side and it all made for a very effective visual sealing of families.  It was late and we were tired, but it was a good experience.

Love to all my kids and families!  Have some hot chocolate and sing some Christmas songs!
