I took Zak and his best friend (who leaves for Peru for his mission the week after Zak) on a Temple Road Trip.  We did ordinances in 12 different temples in 3 days!  Jen came with us to the first 3 temples which was very nice.  Day 1 was Manti (Endowment), Provo (Initiatories), Timpanogos (Sealings), and Draper (Endowment).  Day 2 was Oquirrh Mountain (Endowment), Jordan River (Initiatories), Salt Lake (Endowment), Bountiful (Baptisms), and Brigham City (Endowment).  Day 3 was Logan (Initiatories), Idaho Falls (Initiatories), and Rexburg (Endowment).  In the middle of Initiatories in the Idaho Falls Temple the fire alarm went off two separate times.  It was very strange to have this loud sound in the middle of what is usually a very quiet place.

We had a wonderful weekend!  Many family members came over Sunday morning for a brunch.  People were able to get their picture taken with Zak, give good advice in the book and eat some great food.  We then went to our ward where Zak spoke on the Atonement and how everyone can take advantage of it regardless of where they are in their life.  He did really a good job and told a couple of great stories that illustrated the point.  Jen and I cannot thank everyone enough for all the support and love you have shown to our family during this time.

Jen and Zak are on their way to Cedar City now to spend some time with her parents.  We only have 9 days until Zak leaves and we are going to make the most of it.
