While we were all together for dessert we found out that my cousin Johnathan was going to the temple for the first time in prep for his mission. Well since this was news to all of us (Sam, Melinda, Mandi and I) we were not prepared with church clothes or anything, but we figured we could pull it together so we could be there for Johnathan.
Since Sam and Melinda had not planned on attending the temple Melinda left her temple clothes at home and with them her recommend but no problem, we figured they could call her bishop and get her verified. As we were walking up to the entrance Mandi all of sudden realised she left her recommend at home! OK her Bishop will also have to be called for verification...we are cutting it close on time at this point but we think we can probably make it to our appointed time. I hand over my recommend only to discover the date was never filled in when I renewed it last month! Now mine must also be verified. Sam was good to go, but hung out with us girls as we waited. We were finally all verified and Sam had to vouch for Mandi being who she was since she had her whole purse and had no ID. We missed Johnathan's session, but were able to see him later as he came out. It was a crazy morning, but so good to be with family and there to lend support and love to our cousin.
Later we took the kids to see the temple lights. They had great fun and it was beautiful as always.
Body slept through the whole thing.
