Day 16, Wed Sept 17, Palmyra Temple and Cumorah


We were in touch with former CDNM sister missionary, Maryann Hidalgo of Ontario, Canada. She planned to attend the 11 am temple session with us Wednesday morning, but as time came for the session to begin she had still not arrived. It is a 3-hour drive from her home to Palmyra.

But to our great pleasure as we entered the Celestial room at the completion of our endowment session, there she was, all dressed in white, waiting to greet us! That was a very happy moment for the three of us! She said that she did arrive right at 11 am, but the session could not be delayed. She participated in some initiatory service instead and then was able to be in the Celestial room when we entered. How good of her to come all that way! Such a splendid young woman! We went to lunch together down in Manchester before she had to get back on the Interstate and return to school and home.

We love and admire this dear young woman and wish the very best for her in her schooling and in her church assignment as Relief Society President in her Young Singles Branch.
