December Temple Visits

 December was a great month for temple visits.

On December 7th we visited the Cedar City temple for the last time- at least for awhile.  We will miss our trips there.  We always listened to a podcast on the way up and back.  The workers there were kind and friendly and dealt with the big crowds graciously.  For most of the time we went there, they had five temple districts coming there: Cedar City, St. George, Red Cliffs, Manti (theirs was closed for remodeling) and Las Vegas, which was closed for an extended period of time for repairs.
We will miss our after-temple dinners at Lupita's Mexican restaurant.



Sunday, December 10th was the rededication of the St. George temple.  Stake centers in the area were turned into "temples" so we could all be part of that special meeting.



The temple reopened on December 13th.  We went on December 14th.  It was so nice to be back in the temple.  I have to admit that it was a bit chaotic as everyone was learning the new temple.  We did an endowment session, then a sealing session.  Sealings are on the 5th floor, but only one of the elevators goes up there.  None of the workers could tell me how to find the correct elevator.  I was wandering all over.  I did finally make it.  I'm sure things will settle down after we all learn our way around.
