A simple prayer offered by Julia all her life was to go to the temple someday. That dream came true for her the evening of Dec. 18, 2012, in the Portland OR temple. Austin came down from Puyallup and I went with them to the Records office in Oregon City for their marriage license, then on to the temple. As a parent this is one of those most wonderful occasions to see your daughter, pure and wonderful in every way be worthy to enter the House of the Lord and to be ready to receive her endowment. She was the only young woman that night to receive her endowment and we had a sweet experience meeting with the Assistant Matron of the Temple while she shared important truths with Julia.
Also in attendance was Dad, Emily, Crismon & Danielle, Vivi, and Ondalynn. That evening completed the circle of having all our children endowed. A humbling, sweet time for Crismon and me.
Ondalynn isn't in the picture as she had to leave to feed her nursing baby and her in-laws were flying in that evening for the Christmas holiday and Emily was taking the picture.
