First Temple trip for the Twins!!

Twelve years old is a big milestone in the LDS church.  Not only do you graduate from Primary and move onto Young Men/Young Women's, you are able to obtain a limited use temple recommend that allows you to participate in baptisms for the dead.  We believe that we can perform saving ordinances for our ancestors that have already passed through mortal death so that we can be bound together in the eternities.

It only took us two months to take Brooklyn and Blake to the temple to do baptisms for the dead!  Life just gets in the way sometimes, ya know?!  We went this morning, just the four of us.  I didn't actually do baptisms this time, I just sat and watched.  It was an extra special experience because Matt had worked with Brooklyn and Blake to find family names that we could take to the temple.  I'm grateful for their enthusiasm to participate in temple work in behalf of their ancestors.  It was a sweet experience to be with our children in the temple!
