We are getting so many Own Endowments

Thursday- 29 March 2018- 7:15 PM

Dena Mae Gilpin came today to receive her own Endowment and was so excited.  She is 47 years old and was a delight to give her the Endowment Instructions.  She is from Cortez 3rd Ward in  Colorado but is in the Durango Stake.  She had a large session with many of her Cortez Ward members coming to support her.   President and Sister Yarbrough were in her ward and stayed after their shift to attend her session.  She did her own Endowment on the Cortez 3rd Ward Temple Night so many people came.  She lives in Mancos, Colorado but attends her church meetings in Cortez, Co.  She was so ready and a delight to be with in the Monticello Temple.  Sister Cook was her escort a good friend  and an aunt also was an escort.  Dr. Cook who was raised in Blanding lives in Cortez, Colorado and he baptized her.  His wife Sister Cook keep talking to her all the time.  Dena was so well prepared and excited but I just wished people would realize that the patron needs quit time to feel the spirit that can teach them the truths in the temples.  Great Day!!!

J.B.'s Birthday and sad news

Tuesday- March 27, 2018

Today is JB's 36th Birthday and he has always been a joy in our family. Thank Heaven's for children.

Also my heart is breaking today- Tuesday March 27,2018 Krista Grover died today.  She was only 20 years old and it  was a total surprise to her parents and the town people.  She was healthy and vibrant young lady.  Her family didn't know she had this bleeding disease that is hereditary - her father has it.
She was up North living with her Grandparents and going to vitinarion school.  She was riding a horse when she had a brain  bleed and died then fell of her horse, that is what they think happened.  A neighbor call her Grandparents and said someone is lying on the ground in the back so it was her Grandfather that found her died.  It was a shock to everyone.  Her funeral will be Monday April 2, 2018 at 12:00 noon.  On December 16, 2017 she came to the Monticello Temple to receive her own Endowment.  She wasn't getting married or going on a mission but just wanted to do it.  I was the one that helped her with her own Endowment.  The Lord must have something very special for her on the other side.  She was the sweetest and kindest and and was so prepared to receive her Endowments. You could tell that she was very close to her Father in Heaven just by looking in her eyes, she glowed.  It was truly a pleasure to be with her that day and to get to know her that day,  Her mother was her escort and was trilled to be with her youngest daughter. What a special daughter of God.  I heard that her parents and her had just got back from a church historical trip.  She truly was ready to meet God. I feel that her Grandmother Grover that has past away years ago met her on the other side.   I pray that her parents and family will feel Gods love and have a special experience with their daughter.
