Rexburg Temple Dedication

Sunday was the dedication of the Rexburg Temple. Paul, Parker, Hayden and Cameron and I went to the 9:00 session that was broadcast to our stake center. It started about 40 minutes late. President Monson, Elder Nelson and Elder Bednar were supposed to fly into the Idaho Falls airport, then drive to Rexburg. But the fog made that impossible, so they landed in Pocatello instead and had to drive from there. And President Eyring was planning to come, but he broke his ankle and had to stay home. It was a great meeting, anyway. President Monson was quite a character during the cornerstone ceremony! Paul and I were also able to attend the 4:30 p.m. session in the temple. Then on Monday morning, we went to the temple marriage of the daughter of our friends. It was neat to see alot of people we know serving as the workers in our temple!

The weather has warmed up some, enough for the roads to clear off (finally!) The boys had school every day this week! Yippee!!! We are planning on heading to Targhee tomorrow and Monday. They got 8 inches of snow yesterday.

Everyone is doing well. School is going fabulously! I have my first test in English sometime in the coming week (depending upon when the professor gets it posted to his webpage). We've finished Henry V - play and movie - and will start on Romeo and Juliet next week. My midterm test in Book of Mormon class was to write at least 5 pages about what I have learned so far in my reading. I wrote about what I have learned from the righteous women in 1 Nephi. I can't believe that the semester is almost half over! I am working on my class schedule for summer semester. I plan on taking the second half of Book of Mormon in the first block (which ends in early June)and something online so I can be at home with the boys during the summer.

Well, hope you all enjoy the weekend. I plan to!
