We got ready for
trick or treaters, but we didn’t have very many come.
Walt treated the first
trick or treaters.
These are our Bishop’s
darling children.
These are our Bishopric Counselor's darling daughters...
This little girl really
liked our witch trick-or-treat bowl.
And the rest of the tricker or treaters we didn't really know...
Fun night to have and to have over...

Walt and I wanted to go to
the temple on the first day that President Paul and Sister Susan Young began
their three years as our new Temple President and Temple Matron.
I took a photo of Walt...
Then he took a photo of me. . .
It was very touching to be
with them on that highlight day of their lives.
Paul Young has been Bishop of the Seventh Ward, the Stake President who
followed Walt, and then Patriarch. He is
the great grandson of Brigham Young. He
is very humble and very spiritual, as is his wife, Susan. They are both perfect for this calling.

We still went to the
temple on our regular day to rendezvous with Dale and Connie.
Today the instruction film
was my favorite of the four, even though they are all wonderful.
It was my turn to choose
where to have dinner. I felt like just having a steak and baked potato. I asked Dale and Connie which restaurant in
Twin had the best steaks. They felt like
it was Jacker’s. That’s where we
went. Walt and I had a delicious 6 ounce
sirloin steak.

This was a stay-at-home
day for me. Walt was able to get a hair
cut from Bob Beaver, then he got the oil changed in the car getting it ready
for the drive to Utah tomorrow.
We realized that we needed
to leave earlier than we thought for driving to Utah, so we called Kathleen to
cancel our two-hour family history session tomorrow.

Next We were able to be
packed and on our way to Utah by 11:20, but after we got a few blocks we had to
turn around and get a couple of things we forgot, so we were actually on the
road by about 11:45.
We pulled in to Julie and
John’s at 3:30. The kids were home from
school. We got to talk with Julie and
John a while before Jackson went to his karate class.
This evening was their
ward Fall Festival. It was chili and
soups, rolls ‘n breads, plus dessert.
All was delicious. There was a
carnival in the side rooms for the kids, run by the Young Men and Young Women.
For entertainment in the
cultural hall ‘50s songs were played,
plus a big karaoke was set up.
We drove from there over
to Gary’s to stay overnight.
Gary had gone to the
opening night of McKell’s Utah Valley University’s theater department play.
His ten-year-old son,
Isaac, is also in the play “The Trojan Women.”

Today was the big day for
William Joseph Petersen. He was baptized
by his Dad, David.
I’ll try to scan in the
printed program.
Bishop Nathan Savage was
very complimentary to David and Julie and their family.
Ten-year-old Sam felt the
spirit so strongly when he was giving his talk about baptism that he had a hard
time keeping the tears back. That set
the great spiritual tone for the entire time of the baptism.
A delicious luncheon was
served at their home following the baptism.
We took Isaac home,
changed clothes, then headed over to John and Julie’s to watch the BYU football
game.
After this we went to
Jackson’s karate demonstration.
While Julie and John went
to dinner to celebrate their 17th anniversary, we went to a new
Chuck-a-rama near Gary for supper.
I had a chance to work
some on the blog, then while Julie and Jo
