WHITE . . .TEMPLE . . .TULIPS!

  May 1, 2013

       What do all these have in common, one may ask.  Today was such a special day!  It is hard to explain the feelings of walking into the assembly  room at the Salt Lake Temple and it is full of all the missionaries from the Heber Valley Camp, all dressed in white.  We could not help but wonder if this is what Heaven will be like--to enter and be surrounded by friends and family.  All the missionaries gathered to attend the temple together and to gain that strength and peace that comes from being there.



     We could not help but remember that 7 years ago we had been married here at the Salt Lake Temple.  This year it was cold, but the flowers were out in all their beauty.  There is something about the Spring gardens at the temple that I have never seen equalled anywhere.  There are tulips of every size and description.



  Not only being at the temple with all those missionaries was a great experience, but perhaps even more special, to be there to celebrate our very special wedding anniversary.
 
 


   After the temple session we all went to the Joseph Smith building for a very wonderful, delicious lunch.

Happy Anniversary! The tuplips are almost as pretty as they were when you guys were married. Thanks for sharing so much of your mission with us.
