Liams Baptism





Okay, How much do I look like Aunt Marietta?!














We've returned from our trek to Utah for Liams baptism, and I have to say it was the most pleasant of trips. We left early Wednesday morning, so we would have time to help Willy and Audrey with some packing and sorting. We got a lot done. We got to spend time with the Melins, Petersens, the Grays, the Crumps, and the Lyons. We surprised Steve and Janet, on our way to Willys. They invited us to go to the Draper Temple open house with them on Saturday evening. So Saturday was a busy day! We went to the baptism, I gave the talk on the Holy Ghost (Sorry Mike, I sorta stole your talk.....) then we went to Rock Creek Pizza for lunch. Then we went to Grays and met them and went to the temple. Wow! The church is SO organized. We went to a stake center, watched a short film on temples and the Draper area. Then a really cushy bus took us up to the temple (it is so cool, you can see it all the way across the valley from Willys) and we walked through the whole temple in 2 hours. It is beautiful, and the sego lily is in the motif, in the carpet and glass and furniture.....blues and greens. Gorgeous. The chandalier in the celestial room is the most beautiful one I have ever seen.. We met Rachel and Adam and their 2 darling girls, Audrey and Lauren, Christa and Nate for pie at Village Inn at southtowne mall.
Willy left early Sunday morning for Brazil. he will be back on Wednesday. Then he has to go to Austrailia for 4 weeks and then they move. We came back on Monday. We had a good safe trip, it was snowing when we left SLC, by the time we got to the turn off for Idaho it was a little foggy, but the roads were fine, all the way home.
