### Temple Ready and stuff

Jen, Erica's party sounds very very pretty and sweet. I hope she has a lovely time and I hope you survive. And, no, you aren't the only one amazed at what Uncle Leland and Aunt Joann are planning. I personally think they are crazy. The only time I want to feed that many people is when I have an entire Enrichment or Activities committee to back me up. And a cultural hall to serve it in.
A couple of months ago, Mema brought me all of Grandpa Tobler's Knecht genealogies. I have made it through 1/20 of the work to be done, I believe--and I've probably worked some 18 hours on it so far. But I have some temple work that needs to be done. Here is what I have thus far:
Women:
2 spouse sealing
4 parent sealings
2 initiatory/endowments
2 baptism/confirmations
Men:
3 spouse sealings
4 parent sealings
1 baptism/confirmation
LaDale, Mema, Bradley, and I are planning on going to the temple on Tuesday evening to do some work, I imagine the sealings but I'm not sure. (Maybe with David and Amy? Let us know). (Jen and Jeff, I wish we could wait until you get here, but Bradley and I are planning on leaving Friday morning, we wouldn't ever have time.)
Let me know if anyone wants to help me with the temple work. (Or for that matter, the actual computer checking/data entry part.) I thought it might be cool for Benjamin to do the male baptism we have so far, if he wants. Hopefully, I will be able to continue to find more and more.
By the way, these are collateral lines of the Knechts (for reference, Grandma Cecila Ence's mother (or grandmother, if you go by the family legend) was a Knecht). A collateral line (if I'm using the word correctly, and there's no guarantee I am) is through brothers and sisters. So, imagine g-g-g-gmother Knecht's uncles and aunts. People lots of people who never came to America, and/or whose lines died out. That's what this stuff is.
