Twin Falls, Idaho: Temple Dedication

Mark and I were blessed to have the opportunity to attend the Cornerstone portion of the Temple dedication this morning. Mark was part of the Cornerstone choir. This was such a neat opportunity for him. They sounded heavenly. They began singing as we all waited in anticipation for the prophet to make his appearance. The spirit was definitely present.





President Monson commented on this good looking group of young boys (minus the one girl in the bunch) sitting close together all dressed similar. He told them to go on missions. I hope all of them remember today.




President Monson with his daughter Ann Dibb (2nd counsler in the Young Women's presidency). He had just commented on how it was pretty easy to just slap some mortor on there. Then when his daughter went up to do it he said, "Not like that." It was pretty silly.




Here he spoke to some of the children. He smiled and blew them a kiss.

We are so grateful to have this beautiful temple so close to us. I hope all the people in the area will take advantage of it and keep it full. I'm anxious to serve there after this baby comes....

Obviously baby did not make his appearance today. I'm now extremely anxious for his arrival though. Thursday evening my back randomly starting hurting really bad. It almost dropped me to the floor. It's been hurting ever since. The pain is not labor related. It is just a constant pain. It feels like something is pinched. I've been unable to do most everything. I've had to depend alot on Mark to do simple things like check to see what Lexi's getting into and to get me a glass of water... I've been feeling pretty pathetic and helpless. Sometimes it's better than others and I can do a little more. It's been the worst in the mornings (and in the middle of the night) when I have to get out of bed. I've been crawling to the bathroom because I can't stand. I was so thankful that today after a warm soak in the tub I was able to stand up straight and I somehow made it through the Cornerstone ceremony. Anyway, I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning. We'll see what he has to say.
