And Then Came A Nice Sunday

We decided to attend our home ward of Barber Acres yesterday as Olivia Randall, a young woman we have known since she was little and they moved into our ward, was speaking after returning home from her mission (she is the one that we saw a few times in the past weeks.)  It was our first time since we moved to Salt Lake that we have been back to Church.  It was so fun to see our friends, but many we missed as well--holiday weekend or other Church assignments.

Afterwards, we took a swing by the Syracuse Temple site:

In order to take the photo of the sign, I had to step in front of a parked car and ended up having a fun conversation with two older people from Layton.  They had gone to see the progress on the Layton Temple and decided to come and find the Syracuse one as well.  They didn't know where it was but just drove until she saw the crane in the sky and they kept turning until they arrived.  They told us we needed to check in on the Layton Temple so we did:

It is about a 1 to 1 1/2 years ahead of the Syracuse Temple.  We are so lucky to have these two buildings to serve the members of the Church in our area.  The work is really hastening like the prophet has promised us.  Hard to see because of the fencing and construction trailers but their parking lot is mostly done except for landscaping.

That night, we saw the movie "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" which is about a journalist's interactions with Fred Rogers in writing a article about him.  It wasn't what I had expected but it was interesting and really despite having a cold this week---It has been a string of beautiful days in our neighborhood.  I hope it is for you as well.
