Cameron @Draper & Salt Lake Temples
Cameron finished up going to all the temples in the valley today. He first went to the Draper Temple with his grandparents at 11:00 am session. They finished up at 3:00 pm and then went to get some Dinch at Training Table. He then went to their house until 4:30 pm and then went to his other grandparetns house. Brian & Sharri picked up Grandma Bette and Cameron and headed up to Salt Lake Temple. We barely missed the 6:00 session, so we took our time finding parking, get dressed and waitng in the Assembly Room. We were the first ones to wait for the 7:00 pm session. We asked one of the temple workers if we could go and see the Baptismal font while we are waiting. He told us that we couldn't since we have our new names. We told him that Cameron had been going to all the temples before he would go into the MTC, and this was his last ones to visit and wanted to see the difference between other temple baptismal fonts and Salt Lakes. The worker went and asked permission and he said if we left our packets and new names in the assembly room, that he would take us over to the baptismal font. The Salt Lake Baptismal Font is the only one with Gold Oxen and the only one that you sit below the font to wait for your turn. We went back and waited until the session started. Cameron said that Salt Lake Temple is very different and interesting. He wondered how the workers could memorize all the words correctly. We decided to do some sealings after the session, but he sealer would not allow Cameron as a future missionary to do then. He said it was against policy. We had never heard that, but it makes sense. We dropped off Grandma and drove him in two cars and got home around 11:00 pm. What a day Cameron had, two temple sessions in the same day, but worth it.
