Family Day

Today we had a lot of fun.

We got up early to take friend Judy to the airport and start the drive to Phoenix. Not too many people were on the road!

We got to the temple just after 9 am so we could help take care of kids while Garrett got married. It didn't work out exactly as planned, but one of the moms, and the grandma and grampa had fun tending to 5 kids under 7, a pretty good ratio I think! It was of course sunny in Phoenix, but not truly hot - pleasant enough in the shade. Soon everyone came out of the temple and our duties were over.

Then we went to a temple session ourselves and did work for Mercy Jones and her son George Clendening.

Then we had a quick bit of lunch and drove home. Katie and family passed us on the way.

Then we took a quick rest, and went to Garrett's reception and saw the kids again. I had made friends with Dessa, a 4-yr old cousin, and it was fun seeing her again at the party, as well as seeing the other kids and their parents...and the bride and groom.

Then we went to stake conference and heard wonderful talks on preparedness of all sorts, including an MD's view of the Word of Wisdom. Bottom line: trust the Holy Ghost and the scriptures, even when supposedly new breakthroughs are announced.

A great day!
