Trunky Temple Tuesday: October 4, 2011

October 4th. We've got missionaries going home again. The day looks sort of like how I feel inside when it is time for me to give up my missionaries and let them go home. Grumpy.

Oddly enough, the Elders seem to be in a pretty good mood about the whole thing! Go figure!

Sister Bates and her parents don't seem broken up at all!!President Winn just keeps talking on the phone....always talking on the phone.

And here come the Elders!

Oh! Wait! Is this a GQ photo shoot??

Yep. Pretty sure it is.

It's time to gather up the gang for a group picture.

Aren't they just adorable?

Smile!

Just kidding!! Elder Keim!! So glad you could join us!!

Okay, so really the gang is all here!

Elder Aguilar, Elder Chamberlain, Elder Whiting, Elder Jorgensen, Elder Nunez, Elder Gu, Elder Keim, Elder Partridge, Sister Bates, Sister Zazueta, Sister Miller, Elder Hernandez, Elder Mata'u and Elder Ostrom-

Smile!!

Did anyone else hear that huge crack of thunder?

Does anyone else see what I see up there?

It looks a little threatening!

And the storm begins..

and the wind blows........

And we all head for the high ground and shelter from the rain.

Please take note how nice we all look.

This is the last picture in which we all look nice.

Here we are standing under the protection of the temple roof.

While the rain POURS!

Next, we all ran through the pouring rain to the Joseph Smith Memorial Building

where we finished taking pictures,

soaking wet.

See the spots of rain on the glass of the window?

See how nice we all look now?

But we enjoyed lunch together anyway.

Just like we have enjoyed serving together.

And learned to love each other.

And the Utah Salt Lake City Mission.
