Temple Thursday

This morning, July 17th, Kay and Loren's youngest son,

Riley, went to the temple for the first time.

 He will be leaving on his  mission in August.

He is going to the Roanoke, Virginia mission.

That is where Wynn served.  WE are excited for him.

Lucky me, I got to go to the temple with them.

What an awesome experience.  I learned a great lesson!

I learned to always trust in the Lord and it will always

work out.  Let me explain. . . 

In May, Kay and Loren's daughter, Britney got married.

It just seemed so perfect for Riley to go to the temple with

Britney when she went through.  This would be

Kay's dream day, when the whole family could

be in the temple together.  

Riley had his mission call, only two days of school

left and they weren't really school days, just practice

days for graduation.  But, their stake president would

not let Riley go to the temple.  The rule is, they

must me graduated from high school before they 

should go.  Well, it seemed so foolish to me.

He was so close.  

Kay and Loren did not kick up a fuss.  (I think I would of).

I felt so bad that Riley couldn't witness Britney's 

wedding and that their family couldn't be all 

together in the temple.

You see, Kay's oldest son lives in Kansas and would

not be coming back for Riley's temple day or for

his farewell.  

Well, today at the temple, it just felt so right!

The spirit taught me that there is great joy

in following our leaders and the rules!

Riley got HIS day in the temple and it just

so happened that Britney was here.  She

came for a wedding so she got to be there.

It was just so relaxed and it was Riley's day.

I'm so glad that I could be there and experience

this great day.

WE love the Kinghorn's so much.

They are the best friends in the world.

We have been so blessed having them in our lives.

I'm so glad I got to go to the temple today and

share this special day with them.

Congratulations Riley Kinghorn!

WE love you!
