Work at the Temple

We have had lots of opportunities at the Temple. It is such a beautiful Temple. It is quiet and we love working inside and out. This week, we got to prune trees and bushes. The big pine trees on the side of the stained glass window at the patio were very bad. I will show you before and after pictures.

We only have 4 more times to work in the Temple. We will miss this a lot. It is a very special place to be. We love the people we have met working here. Hopefully we will get to see some of them again.

We were picking up handcarts at the Trail Center the other day. They used them in the Florence Day Parade. Anyway, there was a young family there that lives in Provo, who is spending there summer doing a Handcart Trek from here to Martins Cove. They stopped there and picked up a handcart and will return it in 3 months. I understand it is about 1200 miles. They have a motor home someone is driving behind them. They have some young boys. Six to be exact.

We are anxiously awaiting the Browns. It has been great to have company out here. We will get to meet Austin. We hope to see his cute grin a time or two.

Today Sister Baker and I are playing the Battle Hymn in Council Bluffs. Thursday we are playing it at Zone Conference, then next Sunday we will play it in my ward. I hope our husbands can stand it that many times. I also hope we do well. It is fun to do, but it scares me to death to play it.

This week we will plant flowers at Kanesville. It rained a lot last week, and was too muddy to plant there. We got a lot done other places, but sure need to get these flowers planted.

Love to everyone.
