Zach's temple trip

Here is a little post about Zach and his grand desire to go to the temple.  For a few months before he turned twelve, all Zach wanted for his birthday was to go to the temple and do baptisms.  He talked about it often, with great gusto at every turn.  He wanted to know how, when, and why couldn't it be any sooner.  He made an appointment with Brother Brinkerhoff to get a recommend and then danced around the house proclaiming he would never be without one again.   But, we had to wait until he was officially a deacon and for Ron to have a day off to make the trek to St. Louis to get Zach to the temple.  It finally happened on Friday and Zach was able to baptisms with family names from Kat.  It was awesome and the first of five trips Zach wants to make to the temple this year.  He is a great example that temple service is a joy and that it should always be our focus.  Thanks for being such a great kid, Zach, and for sharing your love for the temple.

This post makes me weep with joy for the faith of my grandchildren. They are truly stripling warriors, and I am so blessed and thankful for all of you.
