On July 12 we were able to go to the Columbus temple and see Anthony and Patricia Jennings endowed and sealed. Pete was called to be their home teacher a few months earlier. They have a really neat story. They were converted a few years ago and then stopped coming. Our bishop was inspired to check up on them and come to find out Anthony was diagnosed with lung cancer (he's never smoked a day in his life). They stopped coming because Anthony is pretty private and didn't want everyone to know. They are now coming as regulary as possible although Anthony's condition is getting pretty bad. So they set a date to get to the temple. Pete and Justin worked hard teaching them the temple prep classes. Well they made it and it was such an amazing experience to be there for all of it! They are such a fun couple who have been through a lot and boy can they talk!! We drove them down the two and a half hours, which really kept us entertained!! One thing I loved was that Patricia got her hair braided for the temple and had fake pink hair braided into it :). Anyway they are the kind of people who you are called to teach and they end up teaching you way more about life than you could ever expect!!
The bishop and his wife behind us along with the Parker's. Jen Harvey was Patricia's escort and Pete was Anthony's.
Such a funny couple!! Both posing for the camera, always bringing laughter to everyone around!
Such beautiful people who we will never forget!
