We starting to be a little busier at the temple. We have some wonderful families who are in the area stop by to see us and do a session or bring their children in to do baptisms.
Tuesday after serving in the temple we stayed and helped clean. It goes much faster with ten of us and some of our people come back for the evening shift so it gives them a little more time to rest up.
Carousel at the Eastview Mall in Victor
Thursday, on our P Day, we drove over to the Eastview Mall and took a ride on the double carousel they have there. We then drove through Mendon, a little town where William Smith walked to and gave away some of the first Book of Mormons to Phineas Young. We were able to drive by John Young's home, the Tomlison Inn and the cemetary where Miriam Young was buried. Heber C. Kimball also lived in the area and his parents, Solomn Kimball and some of Heber and Vilate's children are buried there. It's probably about 20 miles from Palmyra. We went over to the classic car show in Canandaigua in the evening. We also met Amy Bergeson Ortin's father-in-law. He is here visiting with three of his grandsons. It's so great to have these connections.

Friday morning we had the Hansen Family from Paul, Idaho in the temple on our session. I didn't get a chance to see which Hansen they belonged to but she did say she taught school with my cousin, Robin. Later Paul went to the Amdsens to mow their back field and I went back to the trailer and got a call from the temple that they needed help cleaning so I went back over to the temple. They had just three people show up to help clean so I was glad we were close by and could help. We went to the temple that evening and did a session. Our new place after the temple is "Nimas". They have good chicken Philly sandwiches. It's the closest we can get to In'N'Out.

Sunday was great. They needed us to help in nursery and what a fun place that was to serve. We had the Crookstons over for dinner and then took a drive to Waterloo to see where the Amish live and then over to Ontario Lake to see the light house and then came back by Bro. Clark's home in Williamson.

It's always good to have reconfirmed that the Lord hears and answers our prayers and knows who we are and what our problems are. It may seem like such a small thing but when Paul was mowing the lawn he ran out of gas. He called and I came over and took the gas out to him. He couldn't get it started after putting in the gas. I saw him still sitting in the same spot and went back to find out what was wrong. He tried a few more times and again it just would not start. I said "have we said a prayer?" We said a prayer, he tried it again and it started right up. What a blessing to have a Father who cares so very much about whatever our problems may be. We did take the time to thank Him for all our many blessings.
