I might as well just cut straight to the best part of the week. Saturday was one incredible day. We woke up at 3:15, yes that early, to get going for the day in order to get to the temple on time for our session there. But man was it worth it. We rode with a member named Carl Hutber who drove us, the sisters, Nayland, and a YSA named Madelyn! The 7 of us had such a great and early morning together. We got to the temple around 7 in the morning and headed inside. We got Nayalnd squared away and then it all began. Let me tell you...just wow. I had the opportunity to baptize Nayland on the behalf of others who didn't get the chance in this life, but wait it gets better. After I baptized him multiple times he then baptized me for some family names the Colonel found. How cool is that?! To be baptized by one of your recent converts who just over a month ago wasn't even a member of the church! It was so incredible. It then continued on to me getting to confirm him for others as well. He actually got confirmed for the family names I brought. To think that he was able to do that for our ancestors is so cool to me. After we were finished we walked around the temple grounds and it was just beautiful. It was so great to finally get to see it after all this time. Was absolutely exhausted and barely functioning, but Nayland said it was a really good experience. LOVE THAT MAN!
Honestly the rest of the week doesn't even compare to that at all but hey nothing really can. I know this is short but really going to the house of the lord with Nayland makes the rest of the week seem not even worth it. Sorry to keep it so short but love you all!!
With love,
