At the Manhattan Temple

The sixteen missionaries we escorted on Friday, April 24 were celebrating the halfway points in their missions.

Manhattan Anniversary Temple Trip

Included in this anniversary temple trip (in no particular order) are the following Sisters: Heininge, Kevan, Frodsham; and Elders: Goodman, Karl, Rhodes, Wallace, Baker, Carcel, Gabrielson, Haggard, Jeong, Mendbayer, Ng, Peterson, Stone.


Looking up at Angel Moroni

We brought the missionaries up from the subway on Broadway where the first thing they spot is the temple. We could hear all their oohs and aahs! We arrived in plenty of time for them to take a few pictures before entering to serve in this beautiful edifice.


Looking out through Stained Glass Doors

When the temple session was over, we exited through the beautiful stained glass doors, taking with us a bit of the celestial - a greater commitment to serve, to work hard, to love more, to be better missionaries. It was good to be in the House of the Lord.

"A True New York Experience - The Hot Dog Stand"

"I could be starving right to death!"


"There's no graceful way to eat a drippy hotdog!"


"How many of these things do we get?"
After a quick bite we headed one long block east on 66th street and there we were at Central Park on one of the most beautiful days of the year! The missionaries were thrilled to be able to see one of the most famous sites in New York - or in the entire country for that matter.

We just went to the NY temple a year and a half ago, and I don't remember the stained-glass door. My head must have still been in heaven. I love the temple location and the magnifiscent musical arts that go on in the nearby buildings.
