Fellow Temple Workers

It was such a nice surprise to get a call from Joy & Leon Hendrickson on Saturday, September 12, 2008. They were passing through St. George on their way to Arizona and wanted to get together.

They met us at church on Sunday and came home with us after. We enjoyed a very simple lunch and had a great visit.

We worked together in the Baptistry at the Jordan River Temple for three years. Joy and I had opportunities to visit on a personal level during that time, but it was wonderful to visit with both of them. I remember attending a party at their home in January of 2005. Our shift had wonderful people. I do miss it.

Leon is a dentist in the Holladay area. Joy runs his office. They have four children (three boys and a girl). They have a beautiful home just behind the home I lived in when I was a small child in the Cottonwood area.

They are a delightful couple. I'm so very glad they called and we were available to get together.

Wow. They ran a business together and their marriage survived. Now that is an accomplishment. Seriously.

Glad you got to see them. Love you.

Your service in the Temple continues to bless your life. How cool is that?! They seem like a very nice couple! Glad you got a pic and blogged it, too.
