Let's Have a Look-See

I had looked forward to going inside the Feather River Temple for almost a year.  I have to admit that it turned out to be an awkward experience.  It is very boxy inside and there are lots of doors...everywhere.  There is a Chapel, and it felt large. I was sitting in it with Wes, 2 sisters, my bestie, Peggy and another Temple worker when in comes my brother and his wife Nancy. They were going to do sealing with Pete as the sealer.

I hope they  remember that  Family is Everything
