This has been a beautiful week, the weather is great and the colors are beautiful. We have to enjoy while we can because we hear it is dropping to the 50's the middle of this week. We have had several tour groups coming through on a fall colors and church history tour. It's been fun to have them. This is the sacred grove as seen from the temple.

This is Jerry and Pamela Tidds from Meadville, PA. We met these wonderful people in June when we visited and spoke in their Ward. Pamela came to the temple in July to receive her endowment and Jerry came Friday to receive his endowment and to be sealed. Paul and I were privileged to be with them in both sessions. They had also been to the temple to do baptisms and we were privileged to help them there.

These are their friends who came with them. Bishop and Sister Welter and the young sister in the green shirt (Sister Johnson) was the missionary who taught Bro. Tidd the gospel. She flew back to be here from Utah for this special day. We met them for dinner Thursday evening and had a wonderful visit.

Monday evening for FHE we met at the Whitmer Farm and had a special visit from "Joseph". Elder Neil Pitts, portraying Joseph, came in while we were singing "Praise To The Man" and retold us the organization of the church on April 6, 1830. What a special evening this turned out to be.

This is President Ralph and Timmy Siebach, our Temple President & Matron. We had our release interview with them this week. These two people have touched our lives in wonderful ways and we love them deeply.

We had our first morning of frost this week. The sun came out and it has been beautiful ever since. Kimberly said they were expecting a frost also so she went out and picked all her tomatoes 7 gallon buckets full.

Saturday, Oct. 11 Tyler Zachery Lewis was baptized by his father, Kory. He had wonderful support from all of his family. Katie's family, parents, brother and sister and families and her grandparents were all there and Kimberly and Kelly and their families were also there. We are so proud of you, Tyler, you have set a great example for your brothers and cousins. Today, Sunday, is Kory's 33rd birthday, Happy Birthday Kory, we love you.
