A Wonderful Temple Trip!
We had a wonderful day today! We returned home from a trip to St. George, and on the way stopped to attend the Manti Temple. It was a great experience!
Check out this goofy picture of me trying to take a selfie of us.
This beautiful lady that went with us is my niece, Amanda. I love her!
This is the Manti, Utah Temple!! It is one of the only temples that doesn’t have the Angel Moroni on it, but look at the beautiful architecture. I reminds me of a castle.
Each year there is a pageant on the lawn below the temple. It’s free and open to the public. You can check out the website here.
It is beautiful and the furnishings in it are very lovely. They are all from the period which the temple was build. It was announced by President Brigham Young in 1875, and dedicated in 1888. It was a big sacrifice to for the people who built it. You can read about the work that went into building it here.
Here is another great place to hear about the Manti Temple!
I feel so blessed to be able to attend the temple and feel the spirit there.
It was a beautiful day!!!

Sunday Best!
“The Lord is hastening His work. In our day this can be done only when every member of the Church reaches out with love to share the truths of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. We need to work together in partnership with our 80,000 missionaries now serving.”-M Russell Ballard
Hope your Sunday is the Best! Love, Joy

Sunday Best
“Problems abound in this world because it is populated by imperfect people. Their objectives and desires are heavily influenced by their faith or lack of it. Many put other priorities ahead of God. Some challenge the relevance of religion in modern life. As in every age, so today there are those who mock or decry the free exercise of religion. Some even blame religion for any number of the world’s ills. Admittedly, there have been times when atrocities have been committed in the name of religion. But living the Lord’s pure religion, which means striving to become a true disciple of Jesus Christ, is a way of life and a daily commitment that will provide divine guidance. As you practice your religion, you are exercising your faith. You are letting your faith show.”-Russell M Nelson
Hope your Sunday is the Best! Love, Joy
Family History Friday: The Leading S!
If you are searching for your ancestors in the 1800’s you may have seen the “leading S” or the “double S.”
It is very common in documents like a census record or other older documents.
It looks like a cursive “F” that is backwards.
I like to keep samples of the way it looks in my research helps.
You can see what it looks like, and some great information about it, here!
It is always good to have helps when you do research!
Happy Family History Friday! Love, Joy
