Tuesday January 8

It was a very lovely day today :)

Dad and I went to the gym.

Then we got showered and headed to the temple.

We have been excited to get to the temple to experience the changes that have happened there.

I am very pleased with the changes.

It was packed full and it was pretty fun because I got to sit on the males side of the room and I got to sit right by Brent.

I loved it.

I had a thought.

You know how we have been told things ahead of time to prepare us for these changes that happen.

For example, being told to keep the sabbath day holy, and now we see if was to be able to do this Come Follow Me program.

Or when we were given the Proclamation to the Family, not knowing why that was such a big deal then.

And now we see the importance of that document.

Well, I was thinking about the push for Family History work.

And I thought today that there will come a point that, unless we come with our own names to the temple, we might not be able to attend.

Because there will be so much work done, there won't be as many names provided for us.

So right now, if we prepare and get names, then we will always be able to attend the temple.

I can't wait to start being better at that!

We got home and Dad got to work cutting some stuff for me for our YW activity tomorrow.

I had to leave and got to a YW leader meeting.

Lots of changes and lots to talk about.

But all good and exciting!

By the time I got home, all the kids were home from school.

Dad took the little ones to Piano and Madi was at work.

I took Cassi to the high school for the basketball games, which Madi went to after work as well.

This evening, Elsie is deciding to work better on her PT home exercises.

She did some walking on the treadmill and then I stretched her out.

This will be so great for her if I can get her to continue working on it.

Porter got some reading done, he has some book reports due soon.

Elsie has been a rock star with reading her scriptures.

She read her Come, Follow Me stuff and then she got her B of M reading done just now.

She has been wanting to read more and more herself, and it is pretty dang cool!!!!
