Twin Falls Temple

We went to the dedication of the Twin Falls Temple yesterday. Well we went to the satellite feed in our chapel. It was very good. The talks were all interesting. President Monson spoke about the barnacles on a ship. I remember that talk when he spoke at the Portland Temple dedication. Such a good analogy to keep the worldly salt water barnacles from weighing us down by attending the fresh waters of the temple. President Monson did look very tired however.
His wife was home ill but his daughter was there with him and spoke. She is in the general young women's presideny. Interesting story that the first counselor in the temple presidency told. His wife's grandfather went on a mission and baptized President Eyring's grandfather.
President and Sister Eyring were there, He was conducting and she spoke.
