Scott's birthday was Friday & we celebrated by doing a fun run with some friends. Scott's friend Ken & his wife Mimi came down to run the race & support Scott. I ran the race as Chris (hurt ankle) & Bryce, Jacob, & Lisa ran as well. The goody bags were awesome, yummy snacks, & good race helpers at the end who realized that you wanted to have your timing chip cut off of your shoe even if you couldn't remember the word "scissors". I improved my 5K-time from the last run by 4-1/2 minutes!!! I even took a detour along the race route to run through the sprinklers (seriously). Scott & Ken ran 47:51. This was Scott's first race & he did great! The marathon is less than two months away and he is diligently training 3-4 mornings per week. I am glad he can do it - I have no desire whatsoever. We loved doing the race with Lisa & Jacob & Bryce, too. The YSA make us feel younger all the time.
The next afternoon we went to the Atlanta LDS temple with a bunch of YSA. I was able to gather some names from the new Family Search web-site & submit them for vicarious ordinance work. I was able to be baptized in behalf of my 3rd great-grandmother and a few aunts. I believe that the work that we do in the temple allows the ordinances of salvation to be available to those who died without the opportunity. The temple is beautiful, sacred, & reverent. I always come away feeling renewed.
