This morning before 8 am Heather and Doug's flight arrived back from Hawaii. Heidi went to the airport and picked them up. I stayed back and worked with the kids on Khan Academy. David is getting close to being done. I'm proud of him for sticking with it. He's been learning tough material for him and he keeps making mistakes and having to do more practice problems. I've been telling him that him finishing after a struggle is a bigger accomplishment than if he had simply known all the material and breezed through. I think it may be getting easier for him now that he can see light at the end of the tunnel.
This afternoon, for Mutual activity, the Youth went to do Baptisms for the Dead at the Temple. This time David got to go to the Mesa temple. David's friend Lincoln Phelps came and showed him where things were. Anthony and Lauren were there too. It made David less nervous having familiar faces around him. It also helped that he had been once before. Thanks to Grammie Mangum we had family names to take. Heidi pointed out that August 4th is the day David was baptized so this is almost an anniversary trip. We feel very blessed to have a temple so close by.
David, we are proud of you! Your service in the temple is very important
