On Friday, March 18th, 2011 we drove up to Idaho to stay with Kathy and Val. They were approved by the church to be sealed for time and all eternity the following day, March 19th, at 2 pm in the Rexburg, ID temple. We had just moved up to Utah the week before so we were grateful for the timing. Unfortunately, after a few hours of driving I realized that I didn't have my temple recommend---yikes! After getting to their place, Val suggested that I contact my bishop to get special approval to attend. After many failed attempts, I had accepted that I wouldn't be able to attend. But, due to Jase's tireless efforts, he got a hold of our new bishop, Bishop Smart. Because he didn't know me, he gave me a standard temple recommend interview over the phone! I passed :*) and was gratefully able to attend the sealing.
All I remember was the large crowd that was gathered and the smiles Kathy and Val had on their faces. It was a remarkable experience and we're so very happy for them!!
