One More Time

 We made it one more time to the temple during 2020.

It was a sweet experience as we served not realizing that it was the last time until who knows when. I am grateful that we take advantage of going to the temple as often as we do. That way I don't feel any guilt now that I can't go.

One day the temple will be open again and we will go as often as we can!

We Did It All!

I have had a kind of an idea/goal/dream of doing all of the ordinances of the temple in one visit for a few years now. Well January 2020, we made it happen! We got there in the late afternoon and headed for the baptistry. It's been a long time since we've done baptisms thanks to my nephews that are old enough to go to the temple in California.

It was a wonderful experience especially since we haven't been able to go like we used to.

 

Six hours later, we were all done!

I am so grateful to do this work for my family. Each and everyone of them matter and deserve to choose whether or not they want to follow Jesus Christ's example. It's been hard not being able to go to the temple like we used to, but eventually we will be back and doing more work for our family.

Riding Around

Jonathan and I spent quite a bit of time during the rest of his Christmas vacation riding our bikes. We rode around the bike trails in our town.

On New Year's Day, we started out with a delicious breakfast and then took our bikes to ride around in Austin.

I enjoy the view of the city from across the river.

At the end of our ride, we found a few murals and had to take pictures with the Winnie the Pooh one.

We love the mild winter weather that enables us to ride all year long!
