Since Kaydra turned 12, she can now do some temple work. We were able to take her to the temple to do her first Baptisms for the Dead ordinances. The temple had an open baptism day on Labor day for anyone with a recommend from their bishop. It was first come first serve and they expected about 100 kids that day. We were there early and got in pretty quick. We were able to take Kaydra’s cousin, Cora and we met her best friend Makenna at the temple. Makenna turned twelve 3 days before Kaydra so it was her first time too. When we got there, they said they could provide everything/everyone we needed but did we have someone that wanted to baptize them? We were surprised but Leonard was prepared and was able to baptize all three of them for those that had passed on without the opportunity to accept the gospel. It was awesome. I was able to watch with Alethea, Makenna’s mom. It was a great experience and I am glad I got to be there with her in the temple. I hope and pray there will be many more opportunities for us to be in the temple together in this lifetime. Thank you, Kaydra, for making good choices that bless both our lives!
After the baptisms….beautiful girls and a beautiful place.

I remember going to the temple when I was in YW and Leonard baptized me. I don't remember anything else about it but I thought it was neat that he got to baptize me.
