Temple Trips Times Two

The Bentonville Temple is about 90 minutes north of us and we have been going once a month on the third Friday of the month.  Every other transfer, the zone has a special missionary session at the temple on Wednesday.  And this past week, both of those things happened in the same week--just like last October.  It was a sweet week---

The weather was clear for Wednesday travel which made us all happy as we were able to head up to the temple as a zone.  This time, in addition to the office senior couples who attended the session, we were joined by President and Sister Collins as well as Elder and Sister Baird--who are our brand new senior couple.  They had arrived the night before and spent the night with the Collins.  They will be serving in Springfield, Missouri with the young adults.  

Of course, we got pictures afterwards--

President Beutler is a member of the mission presidency.  He is great and the missionaries love him.  He serves in the temple on Wednesday mornings each week.

Ft. Smith Zone--January 2024----

Love these sweet missionaries and being in the temple is a very sweet experience.

As I mentioned, we went again on Friday for a session as well and were joined by Sister and Elder Ellis.  We did the 10:30 morning session and then hung around in Bentonville and then did sealings at 5:00 pm. That was also a wonderful day!  No pictures at the temple though--too cold to stand outside.
