Preparing for more Knowledge

This morning Dave, Sarah and myself were invited to an appointment with the bishop at 8:00 a.m.  The bishop explained this meeting to be his temple prep class encompassing all he wishes to share in one hour.  He is a master teacher in gospel instruction and also in his expertise, anatomy and physiology.

He asked Sarah about symbols and why they are used.  She said to simplify what it represents, to bring remembrance of something, and to teach concisely.  He then taught that the temple was full of symbols.  It isn't weird or strange but these symbols can help us realize the literal blessings that are in store.

He recommended that we spend more time as family preparing for this special occasion.  I personally am looking forward to the study and preparation that we will experience.

Sarah is attending a student ward this semester.  Camille continues to attend her singles ward in SLC and Kirsten also began attending a new student ward.  They are all actively pursuing educational goals.  Camille is working on a masters in nursing education, Kirsten is a senior in political science, and Sarah is in the last half of her junior year in elementary education.

Here we are visiting Santaquin, Utah on Aug. 27.  We attended a church meeting with Layne and Dixie.   It was fun to be all together for an afternoon.
