Going to the Temple...

Friday, January 16th, Payton and Jantsen were both able to go to the temple.  Payton went to do baptisms for the dead with 2 of his best buddies.  Bruno Frampton took Payton, Hummer,and  Kaden to the Provo temple.  They were each baptized for 10 people.  Payton said these people were from India and born sometime B.C.  Bruno did the baptizing.  These boys got up at 6:30am to be to the temple at 7am.  Friday was teacher prep day which meant no school.  I am very proud of Payton for making the effort to go, especially because I know how much he would have liked to sleep in.  He said the temple experience was "pretty cool".

Jantsen was asked to go to the Draper Temple Open House also on Friday the 16th.  He woke up early...7:30am in order to leave with the Elisons at 8am.  He was able to walk through the entire temple and see each room.  He loved the baptismal font and the Celestial room.  He talked about the 12 oxen holding up the baptismal font and representing the 12 tribes of Israel.  He talked about the crystal chandeliers in the Celestial room and the altar and eternal mirrors in the Sealing room.

This was a great day for both boys.  I am proud of them for their desire to follow Christ, to learn more about Him and His Church on the earth today.
