June 30, 2010

Thursday, June 30, 2011 is the day we took Cameron to the temple to receive his endowments. It was special day as we took our young son to the temple. The day and time worked out really well as Ron and RaNelle, close friends of the family were working in the temple that day. They were scheduled to work in the temple on Thursday, when they found out we would be attending the Thursday evening session they were able to make arrangements so that Ron could be his attendant going through for the first time.

It was another whirlwind of events as we prepare Cameron to go on his mission. Grandma Marilyn had been in Boise all week long watching little Maddox and then rushed home to go through the temple with Cameron. Cameron had left his endowment paper on the bed at home on our way down, luckily I asked before we passed the last Burley exit. Mindy was home and was able to meet us at the interstate with it so we could get to Twin on time.

I did some initiatory work while Cameron and Hank completed Cameron's work. There were several family members and friends in attendance. It was a whole different experience being there with Cameron. It was a very special session and I enjoyed meeting up with all of them in the Celestial room.

I changed back into my church clothes and was down in the waiting area waiting for Hank and Cameron when I noticed a tall man that looked like Cameron's boss, Cleve, packing a vacuum cleaner around. He looked like he was waiting for someone so I asked him if he was waiting for someone in particular. He said he was looking for Cameron. I introduced myself and found out that he had tried to get into the 7 o'clock session but it was full.   It wasn't too long when Cameron came walking down the stairs and saw Cleve they chatted for a few minutes and introduced him to his dad and Grandpa Rod. We then took off for a very late dinner, we went to Applebee's with Mom & Dad, Ty & Heather, Ron & RaNelle, Mike & Brenda. It was a very memorable evening.
