Temple Walk Challenge

Yesterday our stake held our Temple Walk challenge honoring the 22 miles that John Rowe Moyle did when he worked on the Salt Lake Temple. Every week he would walk 22 miles leaving in the dark. One day a cow kicked him resulting in amputating his leg below the knee.  He carved a wooden leg and continued to serve. His hands carved "Holiness to the Lord" which greets all at the Salt Lake Temple today.
We had a 9 mile walk which went along the Fairmount park , and the Schuylkill river on Kelly drive, stopping by the Art Museum for lunch and a talk from Sister Carr.
We continued on to the Temple site. It wad great visiting with the sisters in our Philadelphia stake.
Since I live right by the Temple, I was home at the very end.
The Aptments which we live in have a great work out area and pool. In the mornings I share the weight room with Dr. Terry, who specializes in OLD people!. She has been encouraging me to lift heavier weights and I have been chatting with her about having more children. It has been great living right by the temple and having a place to swim. Senior Missionaries need to keep healthy and strong both physically and mentally and spiritually.
