baptisms for the dead at the rexburg temple
My cousin Bridget came this past weekend for a visit. We had a blast. She is just like me so we had lots of fun sqealing, making aprons, posing for pictures, being drama queens, making lunch with our new aprons on and getting to go to the temple to do baptisms for the dead.
Last Friday morning my dad took me and my cousin, Bridget, to the Rexburg Temple. It was my first time and I wished I would have gone sooner because it took some time – 3 hours. The Idaho Falls Temple was closed so all of those people were going to the Rexburg Temple.
When we finally got in to be confirmed we were the last ones. Bridget even got baptized for someone who had the same name as her in either sweedish or German. It was fun to go with Bridget because she has been 9 times before and she showed me how to do things and answered my questions…especially with the shower. My dad was baptized and then he baptized me and Bridget.
I could feel the spirit and it was really fun. I hope I get to go again soon. Maybe my Grandpa & Grandma Parker will go with me and all of my Parker cousins next?

How fun to spend one on one time with your cousin! That would be fun for you Parker cousins to go and do baptisms for the dead together. Keep smiling!

We would love that. The temple has been opened for all this time and we haven’t been yet. Let’s make it soon.
