Priesthood and Temple Preview

November 11, 2018

The Primary presidency put on a Priesthood and Temple Preview for the children who will be turning twelve in 2019.  Since Aubrey turns twelve on January 9th, they made a special effort to have it at the end of 2018 instead of sometime next year.  They had a nice program during Sunday School and we even had some yummy snacks before heading to Sacrament meeting.

They handed out a really cute invite a few weeks before but
I don't think I saved it.  

The Primary Presidency.  Aunt Aileen Pitt (great aunt to Aubrey), Cathy Bonifay and Sheila Maddox.
We (Odessa 4th ward) have been a ward for a little over a year now.  Sister Varga was a counselor
and moved the week before this program.  

Bishop Matthew Ormsby with his son Tristan.  

Bishop used an object lesson with ties.  He talked about the evolution of ties
and how the different knots for ties have evolved over the years.  He then talked about
Joseph Smith and how sometimes we may think he was perfect because he saw God and
Jesus Christ.  However, just as the ties evolved, Joseph did not know everything and
had to continue to learn and turn to the Lord.  Bishop specifically mentioned how
baptisms for the dead were not always performed in the temple or always recorded well, but how that
changed over time.

We have a small Primary...about 15 kiddos.  I am glad Aubrey
has her good friend Avery M. in our ward.
