Three to receive their own Endowments

Saturday--  November 25, 2017

Three own Endowments at the 10:15 Session.  Leslie Ann Weber and her husband Simon Peter Weber received their Endowments  and Kolemen Allen Spillman who would be sealed this day after his own Endowment.   We also had another young man Jerry Clay Brooks who is a Missionary would be on the 1:00 pm Session.    Then at 12:30 pm we had a sealing Makenzie Lana Brown and Kolemen Allen Spillman.     It was a busy day at the Monticello Utah Temple and it is always so fun to see so many come to our temple to receive their own Endowments.  Leslie Ann was so excited and had waited for this special moment.  To see the couples light up in their eyes makes tears come to my eyes.  I love these tender moments.

Mommy found her country boy and I get to call him daddy!!

Saturday-- 18 November 2017

Ray Palmer's Granddaughter Cheyenne Jillian Palmer and Jens Christian Grover would be sealed in the Monticello Utah Temple today by President James Joseph Harris.  They had not ask anyone to seal them until they got to the temple.  Ray Palmer is a class mate to Jim Harris and he was thrilled that Jim was going to seal the couple.  It was very full in the Sealing Room and President Harris did a beautiful job in his speaking to them before he sealed them.  They were a darling couple but it was sad that her parents weren't there since they were sealed about one month ago. I guess the girl and her step mother had a fight and she wouldn't be sealed to them and she ask them not to come to the temple and her reception.  What a heart breaking time for her parents that they couldn't be involved in Cheyenne's happy day.  I hope she has forgiven them now and is involved in their lives.  Jens's mother Jenny,  just took Cheyenne in her arms and was her mother.  Cheyenne had a little girl about 2 years old and I had the opportunity with her Aunt which she was baby sitter in day care,  to take the little girl into the Sealing Room to be sealed to her mother Cheyenne and step father Jens.  It was so beautiful to see the family around the altar to be sealed forever, everyone was crying. I thank my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ for such a special spiritual day....

Autumn Beth Evans- Own Endowments

18 November 2017--1015 am

Autumn Beth Evans is an employer and friend of Rex Anderson and he came to talk to me because she was nervous that her mother would come to the Temple and she didn't want her to be there.  She had been verbally abusive by her mother and she was afraid she would go into an anxiety attack if she showed up.  They wanted me to tell Jim that only 3 people could be with Autumn but we were not going to lye because her mother had a recommend to enter in the Temple.  Autumn's sister would fly in and be her escort and Rex Anderson would be in the session also, that would be the three. It worked out to be a beautiful day because her mother never heard that she was going to the temple to receive her own endowment from her sister. Autumn had been to my house asking questions about if she could make her own temple dress and I told her yes as long as it wasn't too low in the front and it could be long and the dress selves could be to her wrist.  Anyway she didn't bring her dress because she said the material was not a pure white color but off white.  She was able to get a top to go with her skirt.  She look beautiful and sweet in her dress.  She was very nervous but because she new me she relaxed and had a very spiritual experience. I was happy I was there to share her special day with the Lord.
