A Soggy Saturday Story

Yesterday was pretty special. We drove up to Salt Lake City (which is quite far) to see some of my students compete in the Special Olympics. After we got there we found that the game time had been changed and ended up missing out. But the bigger reason we went up to SLC was to go to the cemetery. What? Not how you would spend the rainy afternoon?

David's mom had asked us to go find the graves of her uncle and grandparents. We were astounded to find even more.

We found prophets and many other historical church figures buried at this cemetery. It was amazing. The kids even enjoyed looking for names.

We were successful with finding David's family headstones, and we were surprised to have even found Nana's mom's grave.

The cemetery was beautiful and it was huge. There are many names that we didn't find. So I forsee another visit to the cemetery so that we can find the graves of amazing people like Sister Hinckley, Brigham Young, and other prophets, just to name a few.
