Our Beautiful Temple and Hymns for Whitney

As most of you know, the Rexburg Temple is complete. In fact, today I was talking to my friend, Mindy Davis, and she told me she had spent the morning in the temple manning the phones and taking reservations for sealings (weddings) baptismal groups, endowments, etc. The open house starts on December 26 and runs through January into the first week of February when it will be dedicated. Alan and I are going to be tour guides every Thursday in January, meaning we get to take groups of twenty at a time and give them the tour. We will have talking points at certain places in the temple, telling them specific info that will be given to us later. We are very happy and excited about this opportunity. It is a thrill to have a temple this close to us.

I was reminded today looking at Whit's blog that she will ne in the MTC for Christmas. I wonder if they will have you singing the Christmas hymns in Spanish right off. YES!! So here is one for you, my good niece.

Venid, Adoremos

Venid, adoremos, con allegre canto. Venid al pueblito de Belen. Hoy ha nacido Rey de los Angelos.

Cantadle loores, eoros celestiales, resuene el eco angelica; Gloria cantemos al Dios del cielos

Senor nos gozamos, en tu nacimiento, Oh Cristo, a ti la gloria sera. Ya en la carne, verbo del Padre.

Venid y adoremos, Venid y adoremos, Venid y adoremos al Rey Jesus.
