Sunday and Monday

Sunday afternoon was the annual Temple Workers Devotional held at the Logan Tabernacle. I always enjoy attending the meeting. We had to skip out on our church services after the first hour or so in order to get there early enough to find a seat. The choir was really good. It was great to see those we used to work with on Group 9 as well as co-workers on Group 2 and the spouses of those work on my shift who currently don't work at the temple. Cousin Trena's husband, Warren, came and sat next to us. President Rolfe Kerr spoke first. He also introduced those who keep things running at the temple...the recorder, secretary, maintenance director, laundry coordinator, head groundskeeper, lunchroom supervisor etc. We were surprised and pleased to have Elder Richard G. Scott of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles be the main speaker. Besides bearing his apostolic testimony of the divinity of our Savior, Jesus Christ, he told us that the second coming isn't right around the corner. He said there are lots of things to accomplish first and, yes, the world will get much more wicked and there will be many more calamities and disasters.

On Monday, instead of our regular DUP camp meeting, six of us went to Salt Lake and spent time at the Pioneer Museum. I drove. Although the museum is an excellent one, I didn't spend time looking through displays. I headed to the history department and perused many histories on Reed's family lines. Then I went to the photo department and looked at the photos they had available. Between the copies of histories and ordering a CD with old family pictures on it, I spent $36. After I receive the CD in the mail, I will work to update two of my family history blogs: www.myconlinfamily.blogspot.com and www.myransomfamily.blogspot.com. Gotta love that rich pioneer heritage! I enjoy reading the histories and looking at the pictures but I get really frustrated with all the errors. We ate at the State Capitol Building and then headed home.

Reed is driving a school bus route today so we'll have just a short time to re-charge before tonight's Stake Talent Show at USU. Last Monday night we had our Ward Talent Show. We voted on which one we liked best and would represent our ward at the stake level. Each of the 9 wards will have about 5 minutes on the program. It should be entertaining.
