What a week

Wow, I have had quite a week. I was able to go to the temple 5 times this week. Every time I was able to do work for my ancestors that I am working so hard to locate. It is so fun and such a "high" to do work for your own family. Of course, the highlight was Friday afternoon when we all went with McKenna Lynn Remund for own endowment. As I sat in the temple next to Ashley Shay, McKenna and Sherri, I felt so emotional and then to look over th aisle and see Rick, Brett and Justin, I just could hardley contain my joy. When your Dad and I went to the temple in SLC more than 40 years ago, we had no family that even believed in us. Here I sat with 3 generations in a short span of 40 years. I could live to be there with a 4th generation(well, maybe not), but you know me...I dream big. At any rate, it was quite the experience. McKenna is just so nonchalant...We visited with her yesterday and she seems pretty ok with garments..considering it was 108 degrees here yesterday, that isn't too bad...I love her so much. I know the Phillipinos will adore my redheaded granddaughter. Rick and I have had a morning walk and he and I are both teaching today. He teaches Gospel Doctrine and today it is on the 2nd coming. I told him to stick to the manual...some will try to distract him with speculation. He is a bit nervous...so much he wants to talk about and so little time. I teach Relief Society and it it on Seeking the will of the Lord. I hope I can always do that. Sometimes I have not...then it never turns out the way it should. Rick and I are headed to the Buckeye State June 22 through June 29. If anyone needs shirts, let me know right away along with sizes. or if you are looking for anything else. Please send me that right away so I can make my list. The time will go fast. Do it now..otherwise, no complaining if you don't get anything. I have too many now to even remember if you don't tell me. Jeff, will you please mail be back those sister names that you accidentally took home with you for baptisms....I need to see who they are and get that work done so I will have some names for endowments when you guys do the "Hall men". We need to be deciding when we will go to the temple when all are here. We will be doing Wayne, Grandpa Hall,Great Grandpa Hall, Great Grandma Hall, Denny, My brother, Danny. I have many other names of course, but those are the ones you requested. I am still searching for a birthdate for baby girl Hall, All I have is the year "1950". the church needs more. I will keep trying. Getting so excited about July and family time. The summer will be flying by and then McKenna will be gone. After that, just 5 months and Rick and I will retire and hopefully be called on our mission as well. The older you get the faster it goes. Glad you all aren't old yet. I sure love my family. MOM
