The McCubbins Girls

We were invited to go to the temple with a new family in our ward to do baptism. The night before I had texted Deanne, because I knew she had a bunch of family names. But sharing them just wasn't working and I wasn't sure if the temple would be able to print the files I had! Before we headed out I decided to look really quick to see if Mike or I had any family names. We both had a few so I saved them to my phone. When I got to the temple desk to print the names everyone seemed to be in the middle of something. I sat patiently for a few min and then finally someone came over. I could tell she was busy, so I decided to not bother with D's names and just handed her the code to print the ones I had found.

We went down to the baptistery, during the baptism, they had called me in to help in the bathroom to pass out towels and mop up the excess water. I was happy to help. However because I was in the bathroom, I missed seeing the kids being baptised, but I really didn't mind. We've done this dozens of times! It actually didn't even cross my mind to be in the room!

After they were baptised, they went to the next room to be confirmed and to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost for their people they baptised. During this confirmation, I felt the spirit so strongly when one of the names was read and was happy I could be there with Aubree to feel that spirit. 

Later that day, I decided to try and look up the names we took to the temple. I wasn't sure how to find them since they no longer give you your cards back. I did some looking around the family search app and found the names we did; Beilah McCubbins and Gladys Mildred McCubbins! While looking at these two names I realized they were sisters. I could see their parents had already had their work done for them and were just waiting for their 2 girls to have their work done!!

I couldn't help but imagine one happy reunion in heaven that day!

UPDATE 7/13: Today I was able to take Beilah McCubbins and Gladys Mildred McCubbins to the temple to do their initiatory!

Why is there a picture of a toilet in your journal?!? Well yesterday morning Mike clogged this thing good! We tried every trick in the book and no luck! Bought a drain snake, nope! Let it sit overnight & tried all the tricks again, no luck!! I thought I had thought of everything, but realized I hadn’t prayed, so I prayed and 3 mins later I heard a magical sound... It unclogged and all on its own, I didn’t even have to touch it another time...And then I cried. I cried because the Lord heard my prayer. He knew that I had done all that I could do & he made up for the rest. It’s a toilet though...big deal! It’s not about a toilet, it’s about life. In life we just need to try our best and the Lord will make up for the rest. ♥️ Kelli

Our first day of YMs Camp each of the girls were given a 5x7 piece of paper with little dots with letters inside. They were told it was a paint by letter picture and they needed to have them painted and turned in by 2pm that day.  As we went back to our campsite we began painting our pictures and at first they were excited to see what they were going to be a picture of. Then the excitement quickly turned to mumbling, my picture is like all brown, it looks boring! My picture has 143 white dots! Do I  have to finish this? I don't get it. This is Boring... the excitement dwindled fast as they realized that their individual piece of paper wasn't going to make a picture, but then a small surge of enthusiasm began when someone said, well actually, maybe we are going to have to put our pictures together like a puzzle to make a big picture. Then the speculation about what it was going to be began.  Eventually they girls did finish and we turned them in on time, with a little...
