Special Weekend

While we lived in Columbus, Ohio we became good friends with a young man who was investigating the Church.  Joel and I both taught the discussions with the sister missionaries.  Joel is actually the person who baptized Jaron.  We moved, but exchanged Christmas cards.  Out of the blue, Jaron called Joel 2 weeks ago.  He told us he was going through the temple for the first time and wanted us to come out to be with him.  He had moved to Utah and was going through the Provo City Center temple.  He asked Joel to be his escort through the temple.  We couldn't get the whole family out there on such short notice, so Joel flew out for the weekend to be there.  I was sad to miss it, but I was thrilled for Jaron.  While Joel was there he also visited 2 temples that we still hadn't been to: Brigham City and Payson.  That brings us to 65 temples!

 While Joel was in Brigham City, he crossed the street to the Brigham City tabernacle.  He went to the cemetery and he was excited that he found the gravestones of his grandparents and great uncle.
