Baton Rouge Temple


We were able to go to the temple this weekend. Laine Anderson is going on a mission and received his endowments this past Saturday. It was so mice to be there with the Anderson's and Wallace's. We had a lot of fun at the hotel Friday night. We went to the Olive Garden and were able to celebrate Evan's 18th birthday. Then we went swimming. We went to the temple Saturday morning. We lucked out and there wasn't any rain. (It seems like everytime we go to the temple we end up with a big rain storm.) We went to the session. It was neat being apart of that sacred ordinance for Laine. We are looking forward to Laine going on his mission. He leaves next Monday for Utah. He will be serving a Spanish speaking mission in California. We look forward to writing him. Since this is the first missionary to leave from our ward since we have lived here for over 4 years.

I'm so excited for Laine! We've been waiting for good news about a mission for him for a while. I'm so glad you were able to go! Give him a hug from us when you see him next.

Wow! Can he really be that old. And can Evan really be having his 18th birthday!?? Tell the Andersons and Laine hello from the Memmott's. We miss seeing them and all of you in Vicksburg.
