Last Saturday, we made a three-hour drive to the Atlanta Temple. Here is a picture of the Angel Moroni statue on top, up in the beautiful blue Georgia sky.
With us came a new member, a sister who was baptized last April (before we arrived in June). She had prepared to do two Temple Baptisms, for her two deceased grandmothers. Sister Katherman helped her with that and also helped her at the Temple.
This sister is not very tall, so the water in the baptism font was high on her chest, and it was a little scary. And, she is also very fearful of water to begin with! But, she had great faith and was baptized for and in behalf of her two grandmothers, along with five names supplied by the Temple. What a great day for her family!
And, I was able to attend a Temple Session there too. That was a nice experience, since we haven't been able to go to the Temple for several months.
