Brandt got to go to the temple today, the first time in over a year. Although the temple has been open again for a month or more, you can only attend if you've got an appointment and it has been practically impossible to get a baptism appointment. Appointments open on the first of the month (May 1) for the following month (June), and if you don't make your appointment immediately, you won't get one, especially for baptisms. I have tried unsuccessfully to be able to go.
So how did Brandt get to go, you might ask. The Harrisons, in the 7th Ward, had some extra spots in their reservation, and asked the Oylers if they wanted to go. Even with Jarom and Sam going, there were a couple more spots, and Tami asked if Brandt wanted to go. There was room for Blythe, too, but when it came down to it, she didn't want to go without someone she knew, so she didn't go. But Brandt wanted to attend, and so he went with the Oylers.
Brandt reported that it was wonderful to be back in the temple. Jarom got to perform baptisms for the first time, and it was Sam's first time. I love the temple and hope our children will come to love the temple, too. I'm glad Brandt was able to be there today and sincerely hope we can all get up there together soon.
