Draper Temple

Joseph was able to go through the Draper Temple for the first time last night.  (December 14th)  It was a very special day because it was his Dad (Mike's) birthday.  Mike was able to be Joseph's escort through the Temple.  It was also the anniversary of his brother Robbie's passing, 15 years ago.  We were able to have several family members join us for a wonderful session: Grandma Donna Gibbons, LeRoy Gibbons, Barry & Lucie Gibbons, Marty Holker, Michael & Rocio Holker, Collette and Troy Worthington (funny story about Troy...he didn't have white pants and he thought he could rent them at our Temple.  But they don't rent clothing, so he went to the only place he knew he could find white pants...a golf store!  They had to start the session without him, but he got to meet up with us in the Celestial room.) and me, Mom!  We missed my parents, who would have been there if it wasn't for my Dad's open heart surgery, and many other family members who had other commitments.

We sure love you Joseph and are so happy that this is one step closer to your mission in less than 6 weeks!
