Cleaning the Church!

This past Saturday, our family had the opportunity to help out in a Stake wide deep-cleaning of our church building. The Ogden Temple Dedication was the following Sunday, and our Stake President asked the members to go to town polishing up the facilities, as it was to become an extension of that temple for the duration of the dedications three sessions. It was incredibly gratifying to see so many people, all ages and abilities, coming to do their part and contribute. All of us Bayly's got involved, from the smallest of us:

To the biggest...

It was a good time to visit with members while we all worked towards a common goal. And Finn did his fair share of entertaining people.

The following day, I had what I consider to be a very sweet opportunity to bring a less active girl in my YW group to the dedication. She is the only member of her family who comes to church, and a year ago, no one in the ward even knew who she was. Her progress has been truly miraculous, and I was deeply grateful to share this moment with her.
