We tried to get some pictures of the progress of the temple but since we must take them while traveling on the freeway we can not slow down much so this week we got a couple of good shots of the South side and a great – if not planned – one of some of the equipment that is being used. Hopefully we will get better shots in the weeks ahead as we travel home from the Pine’s chapel that is supposedly going to be open for September’s testimony meeting!

It was Mary’s turn to feed the ducklings – they are getting quite big and they can put away an amazing amount of bread. They are also not very polite about sharing – it is every duckling for itself! The smart ones catch the bread on the fly but there is plenty of scrambling. Mary is really enjoying helping Sister Rampton with improving her piano playing. I get to spend the time either reading something from their excellent library or talking to one of the daughters – usually Chloe. I have a great picture of her studying but I promised I would not put it up for public display.

    We keep thinking about you and hoping for the best. Our mission had a plan and that was to cross the border into Georgia and get a motel! Lucky for us we didn’t have to use the plan. The temple pictures are nice – reminds me of the Brigham City Temple as we would drive through to Logan to see my mother. In 3 weeks, we are going to the Open House and then on the 23rd the Utah wards will be able to see the dedication. Take good care of each other and we keep you in our prayers.
