It has been over a year since I have been able to go inside the Temple and going from weekly visits to nothing for a year has been really hard and I have missed it so much. Our Temple was just moved a phase up allowing Kids to start doing Baptisms again. It is appointment only, we have to go online to make the appointment and only 16 people are allowed per group. Kelsey was able to get an appointment for April 24th and it was our family, Kelsey and Brit with 3 of their kids, Jeremy and Gwen with their two and Mikell with Brooke. Ryker also invited his friend Scotlyn to go with us and we were happy to have her come along. Going into the Temple for the first time after so long felt like home. It was so wonderful and I wanted to sit in there forever. I loved it! It was Brooke and Asher's first time in the Temple doing Baptisms and I loved being able to be a part of their first time, Everyone brought family names and we brought names that Elain Josi gave us that sh his not able to do herself. She gave us 60 girls names and 64 boys names. We were able to get all of the girls names done but were only able to do about half of the boys names. We just had more girls with us and thus were able to do more. We had an hour and a half and after half an hour the Temple Worker who was recording the names told us we needed to stop doing baptisms and get on with confirming because we only had a half hour left. We were all surprised and I said I thought we had an hour and a half. He looked at the time and realized his mistake and apologized profusely for steering us wrong. Phew, I was worried.
After our session we took some pictures outside of the Temple. Jeremy and his family left earlier then the rest of us and we were not able to include them in our pictures.
