Jeffery's Wedding

My brother Jeffery was married to Rachael on December 30 in the Vernal Temple. We are so excited to have her. Congrats you two. Melyssa had the great idea of making it a girls trip so we load the van with her three girls and I brought Marissa and Rachel. It was about a four hour trip but we had fun. They went swimming in the hotel pool, ate dinner with Grandma, Grandpa Nelson, Great Grandma Pat and Michael at Golden Corral. We then saw "Run don't walk" an old Cary Grant movie. What a fun girls night. In the morning Melyssa and I went to the wedding and the girls joined us for the wedding dinner. Thank you Melyssa for making this possible for us to attend. We had lots of fun.

First Time at Mexico Temple

This is Marissa's first time going to a Temple to do baptisms for the dead. Charles took her and Tonya to the Mexico City Temple. Charles was able to participate in the baptisms and confirmations for Marissa. What a special memory they have together. They had lunch in the cafeteria on the church grounds and Marissa will tell you the best part was the cake.

Mexico City Temple

Missionary Training Center

We went to the Mexico City Temple open house. On the grounds here they have the MTC, dorms, distribution center, Church, visitor center, and Temple. The grounds are so beautiful. It is a peacefully place in the middle of a big town. Family in front of the Temple

It took us four hours, waiting in line to see the Temple. It was a wonder thing to have the whole family walk through the Temple together and to talk to them about it. Emma wanted to see Heavenly Father and Jesus while we were there and couldn't understand why they were not there to say hi to everyone while we were there.

We met Elder and Sister Wilson, who are serving a couples mission, while waiting in line. They are from Cache Valley and a wonderful couple we hope to see again when we move back home. They have been here long enough to know a lot of the language and even more of the missionaries that serve here.

Mexico City Temple

The Temple is the biggest I have ever been in. It is so beautiful and the chandeliers are so amazing. I am excited to be able to do Temple work here. We hope to return soon. The Temple will be dedicated on November 16.

Local Pyramid

This pyramid is in our area. When others came to the areas with the pyramids, they covered the pyramid with dirt and built their church on top. Lately the Mexican people have began uncovering the pyramids and have found many artifacts. This is about 10 to 15 minutes from our home. The Temple of the Sun is 3 hours away, just north of Mexico City.
Charles went to a soccer game with a big group from work. He had a lot of fun. I just like the picture, he is so cute. They ended up on the news, they were all dressed alike. The group went to a taco place after. It was hard to find a place for all of them because everyone from the game had the same idea. Tacos are so good there, not anything like tacos in the states.

Pyramids

Isn't it so awesome. I loved seeing this. You can climb to the top which is totally cool. You can see how big the city use to be. The pyramid behind us is the Temple of the Sun. We went early in the morning so there were not many people there. It's a good climb at the end but the view is so worth it.
There are a series of stairs you climb up and down between the pyramids and the city. Through all of these is a tunnel. Josh had fun going through a lot of them. Marissa and Rachel could fit through this one with Josh.
This was taken from the Temple of the Moon looking at the Temple of the Sun. If you go straight on down the road you then come to the city. It is so big I wish I had a clear picture of that. You don't get a feel how big it is when your down in it but looking from the top of the Temple of the Sun you can see it all. So awesome, you will have to come see for yourself.
