"Wherefore, whoso believeth in God might with surety hope for a better world, yea, even a place at the right hand of God, which hope cometh of faith, maketh and anchor to the souls of men, which would make them sure and steadfast, always abounding in good works, being led to glorify God." Ether 12:4

Baptisms for the Dead

As a family, we have determined that every Thursday night we will gather together to make a memory. This past Thursday, we were able to go to the Jordan River temple and preform baptisms for the dead. The spirit was incredibly strong and we were all touched. Dad was feeling well enough to be a witness during the baptisms and to even do many of the confirmations. We are so thankful that "sacred ordinances and covenants available in holy temples make it possible for individuals to return to the presence of God and for families to be united eternally". -The Family, A Proclamation to the World
After we finished at the temple, we went to Johnny Carino's for Dinner. Yum! It was a wonderful evening.

So glad you are feeling good enough to do some of the work you love and even better to be able to do it as a family. What a blessing. Best wishes to be able to continue this endeavor and with your trip preps. I hit the second floor at the cancer center yester day and thought about you. Funny how you search every face for those special ones. Didn't see any back or fronts of heads that looked like Michelle or Nichole or you. Glad I didn't see you there. But it would have been nice to see you at sunflower market. or Mimie's. Love those Losers

Hello, I am Julia Whitehead, a friend of Dee Dee's from her ward. She has spoken so highly of you and I can sense her deep love and concern for you as you face this mortal trial. I wanted to just let you know that my love and prayers are with your whole family.

Strange as it may seem, our first conversation, when I first moved into the Harvest Park Ward, was in the cafeteria of that Temple according to my journal. Pana introduced me to you and that was the beginning of our friendship. How awesome!
