Wednesday, June 30, we drove through Provo and Utah Valley on the I-15 and continued past Salt Lake City, stopping for the night in South Ogden.

We were close to our destination, but we had traveled far enough for one day.

Thursday morning, July 1, we completed our drive into Rexburg, Idaho. There on the hill above the BYU-Idaho campus is the beautiful Rexburg Temple.

We were sure happy to see our Rexburg family, Jeffery, Kristi, Jacob, Camilla, Laura and Anna. They were waiting for us and quickly tucked us in and made us comfortable in Anna's bdrm where we have stayed before. How good it is to be settled in to one place for a few days and not be living out of a suitcase. How good it is to be with the members of our family!

We look forward to our oldest granddaughter's return from her mission in Chile in just 5 more days! Hermana Adele Chapman!; now a fluent spanish speaker and an accomplished representative of the Church, who, over a period of 18 months, saw the lives of many people changed forever as they accepted the restored gospel. We look forward to being with her and other members of the family as her twin brother Jacob and his fiancee Liz Whitaker are married in the Rexburg Temple, July 10th. What happy and meaningful events we are privileged to experience!

Hoorah for Israel!
