Be Prepared

Yesterday we took Crystal to the Manti temple. We checked to make sure what time the sessions started, but forgot to check and see if it was open, which, coincidentally, it wasn't. Grandma and I were excited for her to see the temple of her ancestors, where generations of the Brady and Jones family had been sealed for time and all eternity. Unfortunately, it was closed for maintenance. Moral: always check to see if the temple is having it's yearly shut-down!

Nevertheless, we enjoyed the 1 1/4 hour ride to Manti. It was a beautiful fall day. The Manti temple is so beautiful. Then, we had time to drive through Fairview and do the cemetery tour, paying respects to those who came before us. We're grateful for their sacrifices in our behalf. Despite the disappointment of not getting to go to the temple, it turned out to be a lovely day.

Crystal went to the Denver temple in preparation for going on her mission to El Salvador. It was a perfect fall day. There is currently a temple under construction in El Salvador. Hopefully, she will be able to attend it as a missionary after it is completed next year.
