a friendship in pictures

Jess -

Thanks for posting those pictures.  I love them!  Especially the tulips, so pretty.  I needed the extra boost this morning that they gave me.  I didn't think I'd have a problem falling asleep last night, but I didn't get to bed until around 4 am and had to work at 8.  It was rough.  So, this is the Laie temple.  As you might have heard, the temple is closed for quite some time (I think it reopens next year).  It's a shame, too, because it would have been really neat to do a session there.  The temple isn't white right now, it's gray.  They've scraped off all the white.  The grounds are still beautiful, though.  There were plumeria trees everywhere (one of my new favorite flowers).  A sister missionary from the Philippines gave a plumeria for me to wear in my hair when we got there.  I loved the Spirit there.

Love, Rudi
