Temple Trip, Feb 13

We decided yesterday that we needed to get to the temple sooner rather than later so we could get our family history research converted to name cards and the ones that needed baptism sent to family in SLC.

We left at around 8:40 and got back just short of 7 hours later. Thank heavens for the Prius with its 45.2 mpg!

It was so satisfying to submit the 39 names. After we picked up the processed cards, we sorted them and will be sending them off tomorrow. All the work is lovely to see done, but what especially touches my heart is sealing families.

We have a great deal more to do, but this is a family project with many members pitching in, and the new.familysearch.org streamlines it to the point of making it possible to gather the loose ends and begin to move backward through time to those we don't know - but love anyway.

Anyone who wants to participate is welcome! It was a long day, but satisfying. PL
