James and I both got up at 4:30 this morning to get ready to go to the temple.  We meet at the Church with the youth and other leaders at 5:30am.  We have a prayer and everyone leaves except for James and I and Hope and Heaven Lootans.  We are waiting for Maddie Carroll.  We are surprised when both Maddie and LeeAnn Hunsaker shop up.  All four girls squish together in the back seat.  It's a good thing that Hope and Heaven are so tiny. 

At the temple, it is very cold and windy.  We all meet in the chapel for a devotional.  Those attending: Brothers Applegate, Diewald, Dewitt, and Mayfield, Sean Hunsaker, Mel Wilhelm, and James were our priesthood leaders.  Diana Curtis, Ruth Wilhelm and I were there for the girls.  We had two young men; Westin Hall and Jace Applegate, and 9 young women: Jordyn and Shelly Applegate, Trenda and Alice Wilhelm, Kilee and LeeAnn Hunsaker, Hope and Heaven Lootans, and Maddie Carroll.  After the baptisms, we took a picture in front of the life size nativity and many of us went to El Cupidos for lunch.

We took Maddie and LeeAnn home or I should say back to LeeAnn's where Maddie spent the night.  Maddie said she hoped I was a leader as long as she was in Young Women's.  How sweet!

This evening ASU lost to Standford 38-14 in the Pac12 championship game.  James and I watched "Love's Christmas Journey, part 1."
