Yesterday the boys didn't have school and since Brigham had been asking me for a while now to go swimming, I thought we would meet Christine at the South Davis Recreation Center.
Hyrum gladly hung out with Christine in the "lazy river" while I took pictures.
We got there not to long after it opened for the day, so it wasn't very crowded but it didn't take long for that to change. I think everyone was waiting for the big slide to open up.

We spent a few hours there and then needed to get back so I could get ready to go to a Jewish Temple with a neighbor. Most know that I am fascinated with different religions. I love reading about them but I really love to meet different people of the religions more than anything. I think it stems from growing up and people "thinking" they knew what a Mormon believed because of what a non-Mormon told them. So I am cautious about what I read and save the deep stuff for those that are actually in the religion. So, one of our neighbors is Jewish and asked if I wanted to go to the Jewish temple with her on Friday night.
It was a very small setting but they were so laid back and I wasn't uncomfortable at all. There was a lot of singing in Hebrew and honestly, it was beautiful. I felt the Spirit multiple times. They don't believe that Jesus was their Savior but they have a deep love and respect of God, or Adonai as they say. I couldn't help but think over and over as they sang that this was Jesus' people. They may not see Him as their Savior but He was a Jew and therefore he believed as they did, as far as worshiping their God - and His Father. Just loved it. So much so that I am definitely going again. Last night was the ushering in of the Sabbath. I would love to go again as they close it. What a perfect way to get ready for Easter, I say.
