Unfortunately it rained very hard every day but Saturday. She was able to see the gardeners remove the tulips and daffodils and other spring flowers and replace them with petunias, impatients, and the summer stock. It was an amazing process to see large gardens transformed in a matter of hours. 
Friday we went to the quilt and art exhibit at the Church History Museum which was remarkable. She loves the art work of Dennis Smith and spotted these new sculptures across the hall. She coordinates a group that donated and/or raffled nearly 50 quilts for charity last year including full-sized, pieced, hand-quilted ones. She comes from a musical family so we attended a cello-piano recital at the Assembly Hall on Friday night. Her son-in-law plays with the Minnesota Symphony. We spent time together every day and were able to get a lot of work done. She documents very carefully and knows the records and I have technical expertise so we had a great time together. There were also sacred tender mercies.We went through the records of her family to make sure the relationships were correct and make notes on unusual events. She noted that Fred Martin Wolff had an incorrect mother listed. His father has been married before and the mother died. This was very significant because Saturday morning we would have sealed Fred to the wrong mother so we were able to easily make the correction.
John and I did sealings on Saturday morning at the Jordan River Temple and it was tender that Henrietta would be in the area for this work. Her twin uncles that died soon after birth were sealed. Perhaps the most remarkable experience was with Wilhelm August Eduard Louis Hecker who we researched earlier this year. (See earlier post.) The spirit was very strong in the sealing room and let me know that this work was correctly done and that he accepted the ordinances with joy! These experiences continue to strengthen my testimony of family history.
