 Ogden Temple

View into the valley from Powder Mountain, east of Ogden.  Elevation about 9,000 feet at from this point.  We stayed in a condo near here for a week.  It gets a bit cold way up here.  We did have hail one day - about the size of peas.

 out the window of our condo in Park City, Utah.  We used the pool when the grandkids came to stay. Looks almost like the accommodations at the MTC  (haha)

Grandkids with mom & dad making s'mores at the fire pit near the pool at the condo.  The marshmallows were the giant size which did not even fit in my mouth - picked out by Simon.

And that was the end of our vacation, as we headed to Provo, Utah and the MTC the next day to start a new chapter and adventure in our lives.

HOORAH FOR ISRAEL

Paraphrasing Brigham Young - May the covenants that you have made with the Lord burn like a flame unquenchable in your hearts.

Pres Paul E. Jordan:   The Fire of the Covenant - Light it, Strengthen it, Protect it, Share it
