Temple Trip #3 & 4



Sister Eva Young with her parents and 2 sisters.


Each time we go to the temple the members are taking family names.  This has made our Branch Temple trips very personal and very spiritual.  Sister Eva Young (in the wheelchair) caught the spirit when her sister, Lisa, went back to the temple. This day, she went for the first time. While there she was sealed to her parents, her Dad was sealed to his deceased parents, and his brother and sister were also sealed to his parents completing that family unit.  It was a beautiful day.






Sister Scott is the one in the middle



Our next temple trip was a lot of fun when Sister Scott (90 years young) decided to go with us. While waiting for the sealing session, we visited the baptismal as the Weatherford's grandchildren were there. Sister Scott went with us and while she was sitting there, she was invited to do some proxy confirmations. She was delighted! We had a sealing session full of family names while a couple of sisters did endowments. Others at the temple had just one couple or one child to have sealed and asked if they could join us.  It became so full that we only got half of our names done and President Harvey had a pile of names and only got one done. I have had the privilege of taking one of Elder Lovell's deceased cousin's through all of her ordinances.  Each time I have felt her presence so strong that emotions were very evident (I know, I cry easily anyway). This time I could feel her anxiety with each sister sealed and the sigh when her name wasn't presented. By the time it was her turn, my emotions were on the verge of sobs.  Elder Lovell was the same throughout the sealing of the whole family. The spirit of the temple is really spreading through the branch. More are getting their recommends and others are working towards them.  This will really be a blessing for the branch.
