Near and around the Temple

This past Friday we were excited to receive a visit from Aunt Joyce and Aunt Valerie. We were in the Baptistry that day so only saw them for a moment in the Temple where they attended an endowment session. They came in a car with two other Sisters from their ward so after our Temple duties we were able to visit with them for about 3 hours. We went for a walk around the Temple grounds with them while the meat cooked and then enjoyed a wonderful chicken dinner that Sister Kiddle prepared. It was wonderful to see them and and visit with them again.

We went on a short drive with the Curley's after our shift at the Temple on Monday May 27th. It was a Bank holiday and the Temple was open from 9:00 until 2:30. We drove to a place called Box Hill. The narrow winding roads were a bit scary but the views were wonderful. 



On another day the Curley's also drove us to Newhaven Beach where we enjoyed a picnic.

Today we said goodbye to Brother and Sister Topham who were working with us at the Temple for the past 6 months. They will return next November for another 6 months. Brother Topham is a great singer and played the part of Curley in the stage play of the Musical "Oklahoma". We will miss them.

Until next time
