This typical TBM family of 6, from Tooele Utah, are just leaving home in their 8 passenger Mormon mini-van with a BYU sticker in the rear window. License plate frame says "I'm LDS". Dad is driving, mom in front passenger seat, and the school-age kids in back: Hyrum, Dallin, Moroni, and Emma.
After just an hour on I-80, young Dallin has to go pee-pee. "Holy Gadiantons Dallin, can't you wait another few minutes?" shouts dad.
Later, Emma is getting hungry. She spilled her dry cup of Cheerios on the back seat and carpet. "here honey," says mom, "I made some shepard's pie for us all to share. "Pass the jello, do you want green or red?"
Getting very bored, they have decided to play a game. "Name that Temple" is very fun, and Hyrum even knew what year the Cardston, AB temple was dedicated! "for Yewt sakes kids, turn off that Disney video, we are listening to BYU radio!" shouts an irritated mom. Last week we visited Deseret Book and got you some Book of Mormon stories videos!
On the second day of the long drive eastward, 2 of the kids were so bored they were using loud laughter and yelling too much. "Shutup now kids, or I will make you get out and TREK the rest of the way"!! "But I lost my CTR ring, I think it fell under the seat" said Moroni.
And so it went, and finally arriving on the 3rd day, they drove right to Temple Lot in Jackson County, and suddenly realized: the prophesized and promised LDS temple at this location, has yet to be built!!!
