Youth Temple Trips

Today I got to go to the Cardston Alberta Temple with the youth from church. It was our Stake Youth Temple day and I had a great day with all the youth! They are amazing. So many of them brought their own family names to have work done for. I ended up bringing one family name and in the rush of handing out names to all the girls I wasn't sure who I had given mine to. I didn't think much of it and wasn't paying very close attention to all the names of those being baptized, but when my ancestor's name was read my ears perked up and I had a good, warm feeling. It was pretty neat to feel the spirit like that at that moment. I love the temple! There were 30 youth from our ward there and they did hundreds of baptisms for the dead. It was amazing. The temple is a 3 1/2 hour drive away, so it was a long day, but I had so much fun getting to know my Laurels better. We stopped for dinner on the way home and luckily it didn't start snowing until the very end of the day.

Brad took good care of the kids while I was gone. Tenley was really excited about St. Patrick's Day so he made them all green eggs and green orange juice for breakfast. When I got home they were watching a movie and eating popcorn. They're so cute!
