First time at the Temple

Rachel today had the opportunity to go to the Idaho Falls Temple and do baptisms for the dead. Enoch and I went with her as well as Grandpa and Grandma Fisher. Grandma and Grandpa Heileson had a family member visiting so they with the help of Aunt Gregorie took Kaelen, Jacob and Averien for a couple of hours so we could do this with Rachel.

It was a really wonderful experience for her to do family names. She only did 8 names but she loved it. She was the only one that did names. She said that it was a really nice experience. It was so exciting as her mom to see her enter the temple and do this amazing work. I hope that throughout her life she remembers the spirit she felt and make the temple a part of her life always.

After we did baptisms we went and got pictures outside the temple and then Enoch and I left so we could go and get our baby. Rachel stayed and went and ate the the temple with Grandpa and Grandma. She really loved it. She said she had really good mashed potatoes and gravy.

When I went to pick up Averien she was just getting hungry but was not sad at all. I was so happy because I was so worried about her and how she would be. She didn't cry at all while we were gone, in fact she slept most of the time. I was so happy that she was good and that I didn't worry about her while at the temple and that we had the opportunity to go and do this with Rachel. I am always so grateful for family who help watch our kids so we can do things.
