Lia had a race in Cedar City the same weekend Nate's family was going to St. George for the marathon Darren and Jared were running. So, we stayed with them in St. George and drove up for the race in Cedar City. On our way down, we stopped at the Cedar City Temple and Nate and Lia and Laura did baptisms for the dead. Then we stopped at the race course and all of us pre-rode the course. Lia and Nate and Josh did it without a problem. Laura was right behind them. Megan and I had a little harder time. I was reminded that I don't LOVE mountain biking. But, it was a good thing for Lia to ride the course and it was fun to do it together. The next day was cold and rainy which meant the race was cold and rainy. Lia did great though and I managed not to freeze. Nate and Janet and Kent and Luann met us there after the marathon to see Lia. She was thrilled to have them there! We got cleaned up and went out to dinner and to the Women's Session of General Conference with all the girls since it was conference weekend. We had a great time together! I loved having all the little girls with us that are all old enough to go now (Nora's almost there so she came anyway). It was a fun weekend of racing and spending time with family. On the way home we were listening to conference when they announced a temple in Salvador, Brazil. We have been waiting for that announcement in conference since we heard the church had land for a temple there. Nate and I both cried and were so excited! It means so much more to me now after going to Brazil with Nate. We will have to find a way back down there when it gets dedicated.
