Recently a California family, driving through St. George, Utah, on vacation, was attracted by the unusual architecture of the St. George Temple.
They walked around the building, admiring its beauty.
Having a little time to spare, the parents entered the information center; their two young children crossed the street to sit under the shade of a tree near our meetinghouse.
A teacher, calling the children in to Primary and seeing the two young visitors, said, "Come on in to Primary."
They went in.
The parents, now finished at the information center, started looking for the children.
After searching for nearly an hour, they saw them come out of the chapel.
The father said, "We've been looking all over for you. Where have you been?"
They replied, "We've been to Primary."
"Primary! What's Primary?"
"Primary is where you learn about Jesus; and, besides, Daddy, you shouldn't be smoking!"
Their father just about swallowed his cigar.
He remarked, "Let's get on our way. We're behind schedule."
The children said, "We can't go."
"Can't go! Why not?"
"We are in a play."
"A play?" he asked.
"Yes," they replied, "and the play isn't until next week, and we have to stay all week for rehearsals."
The family stated in St. George for a week!
The children rehearsed; the parents were taught the gospel; and the whole family was baptized.

I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
