Tom and Dave Go To The Temple

Wow! It's been a really long time since I have posted anything to this blog. We have been working on getting Tom ready.... shopping, doctor's visits, new glasses, shots, the list goes on and on! I am thankful that we have had the time to do it and haven't been rushed. At the same time, I feel bad for Tom that he has such a long time in limbo... just waiting and waiting. We have tried to do some fun things as a family, like going to Disneyland in October, which was a blast! Tom has been learning Portuguese at SLCC and he is still working at The Old Meeting House. He still has a lot of spare time on his hands! His friends have been out on missions for months and he will be the last one to leave.

Tom and Dave went to the Temple for Tom's first time about a week ago. I think it was a special experience for him and Dave. Our dear friends, the Watkins, and Tom's Bishop, Burt Wonnacott went with them. Our wonderful neighbor, Eddie Peterson, took them through the Temple because he was working that night. Afterwards, Tom, Dave and the Watkins went out to eat at Litza's Pizza. I am really proud of Tom and excited for him, too. We are getting down to the wire.... only about three weeks before he leaves. I am dreading it and excited for him to get going at the same time
