Week 43 - February 18-24

The beautiful skyline as we walk 

to the Monday morning devotional.

Friday was ski day for our son and grandson.  

They enjoy Park City for the day.

Saturday was our day at Temple Square in Salt Lake City.

We spent sometime at the Family History Library.

Enjoyed a German lunch at Siegfried.  I had a 

bratwurst, sauerkraut, schnitzel and brown gravy.

In the afternoon we enjoyed the Brigham Young University Young Ambassadors.  They preformed "Welcome Home".  Salt Lake was the last stop on a tour starting in Provo, Las Vegas, Pasadena, Bakersfield, Agoura Hills, Long Beach, Poway, Riverside, Cedar City and ending in Salt Lake City at the small theater in the conference center.

After the performance our group walked over to the Church History Museum.

This Angel Moroni is the only Angel Moroni that has ever stood on top of a chapel.  It was on top of the chapel in Washington DC for many years.  The building was torn down and rebuild a few years ago.  The angel was removed and is now it is on display in the museum.

I lifted a 50 pound set of simulated gold plates.  

I can not imagine running with such a 

load as the Prophet Joseph Smith did.

We then went out to King Buffet and enjoyed Chinese, 

Japanese and Mongolian foods for dinner. 

Sunday found us heading to the Joseph Smith Memorial building for church.  On the way we stopped and took pictures of three special men from our family with the Salt Lake Temple as the background.

After church we drove to Brigham City to 

help celebrate K's sixteenth birthday.

She had an amazing torch candle that turned into

 sixteen smaller candles and played Happy 

Birthday.  It was surprising to me. 

When we got back to Bountiful K made a snowman.  

I was told the snowman has a dunce cap on. 

A THOUGHT FOR YOU

Your Family Name 

by Nelle A. Williams

You got it from your father

It was all he had to give

So it's yours to use and cherish

For as long as you may live

If you lost the watch he gave you

It can always be replaced;

But a black mark on your name 

Can never be erased

It was clean the day you took it

And a worthy name to bear

When he got it from his father

There was no dishonor there

So make sure you guard it wisely

After all is said and done

You'll be glad the name is spotless

When you give it to your son
