The kids have been blessed to have four opportunities to go to the temple already this month. The boys of course love the temple, but Megan especially has been loving this new experience.
They have gone three times with the ward in the early hours on Friday mornings (they meet at 4:30 am) and then they got to go on Saturday morning with the Scarber kids and Tony. Tony was able to do the confirmations, Tyler did the baptizing, and everyone else were baptized and confirmed. Tony then took them all out to donuts after. They said they all had a good time.
During mutual last week, the bishop asked for four volunteers to speak in church on Sunday. He then said that the topic was about your love for the temple. Megan shot her hand straight up and volunteered to speak. The boys kept quiet and did not volunteer. Tsk tsk.
So, on Sunday, Megan spoke in sacrament meeting for the first time as a young woman. We sat down with her and talked about what she liked about the temple and the different feelings that she has had while she was there. With that and some suggestions from us, she was able to put together a nice talk. She didn't seem nervous and did a great job of not just looking down at her paper but speaking out to the congregation while referring back to her notes. Julie and Sherri took screen shots of Megan talking while they watched her from their homes. There are a few things that are good that came out of Covid, and that is one of them. We all think that Megan did a great job, and we are very proud of her.
