Evelyn was so excited about going to the temple for the first time. We made an appointment and then she didn't associate our appointment with an actual date in her head. We completely surprised her after school when we said to go get dressed in Sunday clothes. Two of the temples were closed for cleaning, so the Provo City Center temple was very busy. I'm sorry that a long wait was part of Evelyn's first day, but I also needed it myself. I've been getting anxious and upset about the immorality that's taking over in our society. Then we go to the temple. Seeing the 50 people in line waiting to do 4-5 names each and knowing that the temple had been full every day for a very long time. I think that at least on the other side of the veil we are battling immorality thousands of names a day. Evelyn was so cute. She let me explain how things work and then she sat and cuddled with Sam while waiting her turn. Ada wasn't feeling well so she and Seth went and had a movie date with Grandma and Grandpa Wilcox. Evelyn was at peace and has told me that she wants to do it again.
It was pouring rain and we had one umbrella for 4 kids. This was the compromise.
We had a combined YW's activity. The first time I got to be with both my girls for YWs. The activity was "We're Tickled Pink that you're in YW's". Everything was pink and we did getting to know you activities. My girls are sure turning out to be such beautiful and kind women. I'm so proud of them.
