On Wednesday we got to tour the new Draper Temple. We went with Kenny's parents and brother and sisters and it was really neat to see such a beautiful temple. The kids were so excited to be able to see the inside of a temple. It was such a wonderful opportunity to teach them more about the temple and help them to be excited to visit again when they get older. On our way home, I asked Lillian what her favorite part of temple was, she responded with, "The room with the big pretty chandelier." I thought it was neat that she felt the importance and spirit of the Celestial room. If you haven't been able to attend the open house, I think it is still going until the end of the week. Take some time and check it out with your family.

Jamie and Carlee's Farewell
Two of my sisters are leaving for missions! Carlee entered the MTC on February 18th. She is going to serve in the Chile Osorno Mission. Jamie will go to the MTC on April 1st. She will be serving in the Guatamale Guatamale City Mission. Jamie is also a RN (registered nurse) and part of her mission call includes being a medical technican. We are all going to miss them, especially Lily. She loves having sleepovers, painting nails, and just being with both of them. Our family size will be cut by 1/3 and when my brother leaves for his mission this winter our family size will be cut in half! Three missionary siblings out at the same time is pretty rare! Even though we are going to miss them, we are so glad that they are serving the Lord and spreading the gospel. Their example of service is wonderful! They get to learn Spanish and explore beautiful lands. Sometimes I wish I could just leave on a mission right now myself, but I think I'll have to wait until Kenny and I are older. I truly look forward to serving a couple mission later in life. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbOZ3djl_-1FPgEOSrWo6r42DYacu4jOs-LchWD5bnTLYJLcnAvHqKwTrCIXUqcDEJMsQnaQ-ALG1LsiV7ZXxkkY0j9meQoycgD_M4mEOUIBj-S1D1sGkgD2hkSQzxDYwgZ_sYR2yy7LXS/s400/DSCN1874.JPG)
