Papa's B'day and YSA Temple Trip

 Last week was Papa's birthday.  We surprised him by decorating the office with balloons and stickers.  I made him a cake.  Some of the missionaries and the office staff sang happy birthday to him.  He received lots of cards, phone calls, and love.  It was a great day and he was a happy man.

Saturday we drove Victoria, a new member, and Sister Nielsen to the Montreal Temple.  Victoria got to do baptisms for the dead for her grandmother and some other relatives and also for some for her boyfriend's family.  He got to do the same for his family and hers.  It was also the day that lots of young adults were there.  The spirit was so strong and we all enjoyed the activity so much.

 As we were entering the temple,  we ran into several of the missionaries and we were so happy to see them.  It felt good to meet up with them in such a special place.  In our mission, the President now lets the missionaries go to the temple with people whom they have recently baptized.  The missionaries are so excited for this opportunity and of course it's a great privilege for the new members to go too.

As usual, the cameras had to be brought out and each person had to have pictures of the event.

   At one time I had 7 different cameras in my hands or hanging off my wrist as I snapped away.  The weather was in the low 20's and we all felt cold, but our hearts were warm and our spirits were high.
