The Gulf Coast

Tuesday, October 20, 2009
We went swimming with the manatees at Crystal River, Florida.

The manatees have algae growing on them. They love to have you scratch their back and scratch all the algae off. I had a baby and a mama come to me. The baby's skin was nice and soft and smooth. The mother's was wrinkly and tough.
You can kinda see the manatee in front of Randy.

When Randy got back in the boat, he had algae under his fingernails from scratching the manatees' backs. Afterwards, I thought that I just had a small taste of how the Millennium will be when the lion shall lie down with the lamb. We will have that kind of relationship with all the animals during the Millennium.

We drove through New Orleans on our way to the Baton Rouge Temple. There are still many buildings that need to be torn down from the damage of hurricane Katrina.The Baton Rouge Temple.

We made it to Houston in time to attend the last temple session at the Houston Temple.

We drove to the Dallas Temple and attended a session. It is quite unique--multiple spires and three entrances to the rear of the building.
