NewBurgh Zone Temple Excursion

The group that met up at the New Burgh chapel to climb in theVan and head down to the city.
We ended up driving right down in the city and parked in an underground parking near the temple. Oversized load, barely passed the test of height.
The whole gang just outside the temple. Great Day!!!!

We love the Temple. We are so grateful for any opportunity to to go to the Lord's house. Our Zone met at the chapel at New Burgh and loaded into three vehicles to go down to the city. The ZL borrowed the mission van, which Doug drove, I drove our car and the Farnsworths took their vehicle. We had 22 total in attendance. We started with a Zone fast and were able to split up and do some sealings and inititory before the 12:30 session. Many of the Elders had not witnessed or participated in either. We have a goal for every companionship to baptize in Feb. We could use your faith and prayers. It was a great day. These elders are awesome. We drove down the Palisades Parkway, which is down the east side of New Jersey along the Hudson River, so the elders were excited to be able to write home that they had been in New Jersey and crossed the George Washington Bridge. It is the Elder's p-day. They sacrificed doing laundry, cleaning, emailing home etc, to be able to attend the temple. This sacrifice definitely was an enriching blessing.
