Week 8 - June 19 - 25, 2018

For our Preparation Day this week we decided to drive to Manti and were able to attend a session in the Manti temple in the early afternoon.  We then biked a little over five miles in the streets of  the city of Manti.

We enjoyed a pizza

 in front of the Historic Manti House Inn while we waited for the Manti pageant to start.

 The line to save seat started to form before 6pm.  One is allowed to the seating area at 6pm for a 9:30pm start time.

 It has to be dark before it starts because the stage is on the hillside of the Manti temple grounds.  See the stage props in the grass.

After the pageant ended we drove to Nephi and spent the night there before continuing on to Bountiful.  These pink lilies were in bloom outside the motel door and I thought they were beautiful.  It was a fun and busy P-day.

This week I received my certificate of Achievement of Completion of the Family History Library New Missionary Training.

THOUGHT FOR YOU
My thought this week is from my Grandpa & Grandma Hale's poem collection from the 1900's.  I came across it as I was looking at what I wanted to put on FamilySearch.org about their lives.
