WE'LL SING and SHOUT IN GRATITUDE, "THE OQUIRRH MOUNTAIN TEMPLE"

February 8th, 2012 was a very special day in the Gish Family.  There were no fireworks, no big celebrations, the celebration was more on the quiet side.  However the celebration was on of consequential nature.  It was anticipated for many years, and it happened....on February 8th, 2012.
What was this day of such importance you ask?  First I will give you a clue, and then I will tell you.  The clue happened on February 1st, 2012.  Do you remember?  It was in my last post..........That's right Braydon received his mission call.  So, do you know yet? 
OK no more waiting.....Braydon had a very special day. 
Braydon Received his Endowments in the Oquirrh Mountain Temple.  Usually when a missionary is called they do not go through quite this fast.  It takes some time to get everything in order, but we were able to make it work.  It was important because Kelsey was going to be leaving for her mission on the 15th of February.  In fact she should have already been gone on her mission, but because they were putting her on a test pilot program she was still here.  It was a simple gathering that came, It was Joe, myself, Kelsey, Grandma Tirrell, Braydon and a couple Family friends.  The most exiting part is Kelsey and Braydon were able to go through the Temple together.  It was a definate Tender Mercy, one of which I was grateful for.   
I know that Braydon was ready for this.  He had spent the last 2+ years going to the Temple every week.  He has brought that special spirit into our house every week.  Now he can go and do other work in the Temple and he can also help with the baptisms and confirmations since he is Endowed.  
It really was a simple occasion.  To the outside world they may not have noticed that a very important event happened.  I know that this event is of an Eternal Nature.  One that can and will bless the lives of many.  I for one am so Proud of Braydon Derris Gish.  I know that as he continues to go to the Temple he will bless the lives of many on both sides of the veil.  I also know this is the Temple Braydon has visited the Most, in a manner of speaking it is his Temple, it is our Temple.  Braydon Loves Temple Work, he is Grateful for it being so close.  It has become a big part of who he is.  It has helped MAKE him who he is.  

 CALLED TO SERVE HIM....
Soon to be....Sister Gish & Elder Gish
