Baptisms for the Dead

The baptismal fount at the Logan temple looks industrial compared to Hawaii's. The Hawaii temple baptismal area is gorgeous. This was pretty disappointing although the workers were impressive. Any time I went in Young Women's and the one time with my BYU-Hawaii Singles Ward our bishopric had to do the ordinance work including the actual baptisms, witnesses AND confirmations. I still remember the room we all waited in that had a TV and played church videos. At the Logan temple everything seems crammed in there. The work is still getting done so I don't know what my problem is-it was just a very different experience. It's like the economy experience compared to a luxury hotel-both provide rooms BUT the experience is VERY different. In Hawaii I'm pretty sure I was confirmed in my own church clothes too. Logan gives you two sets of clothes. One to be baptized in and one to be confirmed in.

I am tired but I'm not ready to sleep yet. My brother and his family are going to bear world tomorrow and then they're coming to see me!!! I'm excited and it's about TIME!!! My mom said this is his vacation this week. SWEET!!!

I used to mentor 'Ila Vaenuku. He was 9 when I started. He is now an RM. I got close to his mother. She is remarried. Three of her kids are with her first husband. He added me on Facebook. He made a comment on my page. I don't know him at all but I've unfortunately heard a lot of negative things about him from his ex-wife. She is awesome. I love Kina and Ila. His name is Devon. I'm not sure why he felt the need to make a comment on my page. I wonder if Ila told him I was his mentor. It's just a little weird.

I'm very tired but I feel compelled to do more laundry so my brother and his family don't see the mountain of dirty clothes I still have to wash.
