One Step Closer to the Mission Field

Selwin and Simeon went to the temple for the first time today.  It was a lovely experience and our first opportunity to see one of 3 new movies.  Jim and Mary Andrus, Marsha Cook, Diane Blackett, and Jan and Bruce Christensen, friends who served with us in Guyana and Trinidad and some of our best friends went along.  The twins were attentive and seemed touched by what they experienced while temple workers and even some of the patrons added to this wonderful, spiritual experience.  Many approached them and asked about where they are going to serve and wished them well.  This day was almost as sweet as being with my own kids in the temple.

I've always thought it was funny when people say "They were understandably overwhelmed". I didn't feel overwhelmed at all when I went through. I feel like if you paid attention at all during the old testament portion of gospel doctrine where they talk about Adam and Eve then you already get the basics.

Anyway, super proud of them! That's an exciting experience!
