Ward Temple Trip and Picnic



This week we did not drive to Pennsylvania on Saturday as we usually do. We prepared a picnic lunch for those in our ward who came to Palmyra for a ward temple day.  We had 20 members (15 adults and 5 youth) make the 6-hour round-trip drive to be at the temple by 10 a.m.  I thought of how many ward temple nights I have attended with fewer numbers, and the drive was only ten minutes.

We have the opportunity to make that same round-trip drive tomorrow.  Like it was for them, it will be a long day for us; but the sacrifice will be worth it.

President Monson said:  “Our lives of service and sacrifice are the most appropriate expressions of our commitment to serve the Master and our fellowmen.”

He also taught:  “No sacrifice is too great to obtain the blessings available in Holy Temples.”
