Birthday and Surprise for the Temple Missionaries

We had a a gathering at our apartment for my 70th Birthday. Seen here Sister McKinney and her husband on the other side of my Elder McKinney

But the biggest surprise was the next day when we were summoned to an impromptu meeting in the Assembly Hall....all of us Temple Missionaries to hear President Russel M. Nelson and President M. Russel Ballard President of the Quorum of the 12.

President Nelson's daughter is Gloria Irion who is the daughter of President Nelson.  President Nelson, his wife Wendy and others including Sister Sherry Dew accompanied him.

Below is a photo of them coming back from viewing the statue of Hyrum and Joseph Smith on horseback just west of the Temple.
