It has been a year since our dear friend Dana joined the Church.
It has gone SO FAST!
She has been preparing to attend the temple.
It was very exciting the day she got her recommend!
We then made plans to go the following week. The goal was to go before Elder Vaoga went home from his mission. He was one of the special missionaries who taught her.
The day of our temple trip was...well, interesting. First, when I picked up Dana to take her to the Church Distribution Center before the temple, we got there in perfect time and it was CLOSED! Not so perfect.
We loved our experience with many friends as we served in the temple.
We were surrounded by many, many of our ward family and it was such a special experience.
It was seriously one of the busiest days at the temple we have ever seen. The temple had been closed the previous two weeks...and there was a new film in the temple instruction that people were excited to see.
It made for everything running very, very late!
While we were doing endowment sessions, Breanna and Aaron were doing baptisms for the dead. Ed was with Elder King at the Visitor Center and nearby. We all got together afterwards, it was about 10 by this time. They had to be very patient waiting for us!
I drove Ed and Dana afterwards and Scott had the rest. We got a call from Scott partway home telling us they were out of gas and stranded...so we had to find a gas can and then fill it to take to them, taking about 45 minutes or so. This made it even later!
We had planned to go to IHOP to celebrate...just not at MIDNIGHT!
But, we will never forget our experiences of this day and night!
GOOD TIMES with people we love!
