Youth Temple Trip

On November 2nd Cody was able to go to the Redlands Temple to do baptisms for the dead.  This was the first time Cody brought the names of his ancestors and was their proxy.  He brought 3 names from his Grandpa Neal’s line and one from his Grandpa Johnson’s line.  On his Grandpa Neal’s line he brought the names of his 4^th Great-Grandfathers, James McDaniel and John Adams (not the U.S. President), born 1803/1810 and 1805 respectively.  He also brought John Adam’s grandson and Cody’s 3^rd Great-Uncle, Henry Green Adams, born in 1856.  On his Grandpa Johnson’s line he brought Robert Flack, either his 7^th or 8^th Great-Uncle, born in about 1650.   

At the beginning of the Youth Temple Trip he acted as a witness for the baptisms and helped confirm some names before going into the water for his ancestors and then coming out and being confirmed in their behalf.  It was a glorious experience for him and he plans to bring more names in the future.  After the temple trip Cody met up with the youth at the In and Out restaurant.  Here are some pictures from the In and Out.
