The Temple

As Andy finishes up his preparation for his mission there are many things to do but one of the most enjoyable is the temple.

Jan and I were able to go with Andy to the Manti Temple for him to do his own work. Andy wanted to go through the temple with live ordinance workers and has always loved the Manti Temple (his Grandma & Grandpa Wells have rubbed off on him). I was a beautiful day.

Andy promised that we would all go to the temple together before he left and last Saturday after noon we did. What a wonderful blessing it is to be able to be in the temple with all of your children at the same time. It will be something I will always cherish.

Many, including myself, have said that their mission was the best time in their lives and up until that point, it was true. But since then there have been many, many other "best times". Saturday is definitely a "best time" for the eternities.

The time grows short. Andy will work his final shift before his mission on Friday and then will have the remaining week and a half to finish his shopping and other personal matters.
