Today would have been my Dad's 96th birthday. Happy Heavenly Birthday Dad. At least I hope you are in heaven!
We took Virgil Cooper with us to the temple today. Last time we took him he didn't make the session and did initiatories. This time he was the last person in the room just before they closed the door.
After the session James & I wanted about twenty minutes for him when I decided to go to the car and wait. As I got up to leave, Barbara Tignor walked in clothed in the priesthood robes. She and T-Bo had been doing sealings. He was sealed to his parents. Barbara said it wasn't a joyous occasion because his dad was, she puts her thumb down. After speaking with Barbara, Stefani Hunsaker came in, ready to start her shift of temple work. I told her she looked beautiful. It looks like Charlie Patterson in on Stefani's shift too.
I waited in the car a few minutes until James and Virgil came out. James told me later that Virgil put the names of his 7 children on the temple prayer roll, using a different paper for each name. James asked if all their names needed to be on the prayer roll and he said: "I don't know, I haven't seen them in 40 years." So sad.
We took Virgil to lunch at Eva's. James and I both had chile rellenos and Virgil had a chunky beef burro covered in green sauce. He said it was delicious.
James wanted to pick up his prescription at Walmart before going home. It was 2:30 when we got home, about an hour longer than usual.
When we got home James and I both rested before we started walking. We went to bed around 10. We are leaving at six in the morning for Catherine Halcomb's graveside service in the morning.
