Wednesday Last

Last week we had a lot of things going on. Tuesday night was the wedding dinner for Kathy Pedersen and Cyrus Hanks. Kathy is a sweet girl from a very nice family. We would like to get more activity out of her parents. But, thankfully they have gotten her off to a good start in life. Her husband's family is very strong and nice. The dinner was wonderful.

On Wednesday noon Kathy and Cyrus were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple. The sealer was GA Emeritus Philip Sonntag. He was a bit of a cut up. He said he married his wife 10 days after he got home from his mission and it was the worst decision of his life.... He should have married her 9 days earlier.

I am told that they routinely admonish the Sealers at the Temple to keep their remarks to 20 minutes or so because of backlog on the sealing rooms. I think Brother Sonntag took about 50 minutes.

Cyrus' family lives in Sandy a little further East than the Smiths. Their Bishop is Bruce Lindsay, local TV anchorman and personality. We got to meet him a chat a little while at the Temple.
