Aerika and Curtis Temple Jan 28, 2012

So we aren't slackers waiting till the end of the month to go the the temple. Our temple has been closed for the month and only opened up on Tuesday so we called and scheduled time on Saturday. Logan temple is all a buzz with the Ogden temple being closed there is extra people visiting the temple. 7:00 this morning we get to the temple only to realize that we don't know where the baptistry is. We have never done baptisms here before. 

Aerika had be doing her genealogy like her patriarchal blessing says to. She found 13 names on the Johnston side. All of them need sealings and two need everything done for them. We started with the baptisms and confirmations today.

With the temple being so busy we waited for an hour to go into the font. They got us the cards with the names on them and asked (since it was busy) for us to be confirmed in the font room as well. That is a first I have never seen or had that happen before. Have any of you? Comments please :) So Curtis baptized Aerika and then confirmed her. Curtis was then baptized by a temple worker and then confirmed as well. It was a really neat experience knowing those aren't just a name in the temple they are part of our eternal family. They are our family. 

That was our great experience at the Temple in January!

Aimee's Temple Story

One time I was doing a talk for primary and the theme for the month was Temples. So mom helped me write my talk on temples. We put on dresses, it was a nice beautiful day, and we drove to the Mount Timanpogos Temple.  We walked all around the temple and talked about what I know about temples.  Then we sat down and wrote my talk. Then on Sunday I gave my talk.  I look forward to being able to go to the temple with my family.
