Our youth were quite amazing and worked so well all day long.
On Saturday we were able to go to the Jordan River Temple to perform baptisms for the dead. It was neat to be in a different temple than Manti and see how those same ordinances are performed wherever you go!

I will never forget my joy, nor the feeling I had in seeing the mantle this man has as one of the quorum of the twelve!
