Today we were able to go to the Idaho Falls temple and do baptisms for the dead. It was a great experience like it always is except this time was a little different because it was Sydney Erickson's first time. It brought back so many memories of my first time in the temple and the many questions I had. Being the oldest meant that I didn't have anyone to lead the way for me, but we didn't let that happen to Sydney. Merrilyn and I made sure she knew why she was doing what she was doing and how to do it. It was a great learning experience for me. I also learned that right above the baptismal font is the celestial room in the temple. How cool is that?!
We ate lunch in the temple cafeteria and then headed home. We were all bushed and slept until Swan Valley where we made the traditional stop at the square-ice cream store. Yes, JC did let us stop. :)
It was a great day!! And to end it I get to watch John Wayne movies with my favorite friends!!!
