Shawn's first temple trip


Shawn turned 12 on April 9th. He had decided to get his long hair cut before he was to pass the sacrament for the first time. His Grandma Kelley came to see him pass it. Once he turned twelve he joined the Young Men's program at church, and last night he went to the Temple for the first time with the youth. I really enjoyed watching him around all the other teenagers and reflected on his life. He is growing up so fast! I am always amazed by how responsible and mature he is. (We aren't sure where he gets that from!) Here is the picture I snapped of him right before we left...

yeap, this is a prime example of how OLD you're getting! hahahaha. How exciting for him to now pass the sacrament and go to the temple so quickly after turning 12. Some kids wait several months before that's even scheduled in their ward. Anyway, congrats Shawn! We're proud of ya!
