Elijah Project

The Stake just completed a really cool project for the Young Men and Young Women. It was called the Elijah Project. The kids were taught how to look up there ancestors and find names to take to the temple. Kimi and Jared really enjoyed this project. Durk Bailey came over to our house and showed them how to do it. They sat at the computor for about 3 hours searching when they finally found a name that hadn't been taken to the temple yet. A bit more searching and another one was found. The kids were so excited!

Today we took those two names and a few more to the Temple. It was so cool to be able to do this. Kimi gave up going to the Mall with friends to go to the Temple. It had just snowed last night and was so beautiful. The trees were laced with snow.

The Temple was packed. I was kind of surprised with the snow and all but seriously there were so many people there. There were lots of groups and people to do baptisms for the dead. I think we waited about an hour or so for our turn. It's just cool to see the people come and go and to feel such a wonderful spirit. I love going to the Temple. I am glad my kids love it already too. I hope they always will.
