over night and went to church with the Phelps. We saw some people we were acquainted with, among them was Sister Ellsworth. We returned by way of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, one of the most wonderful sights in the world. We stayed over night at Kanab in Southern Utah at the home of Elder Swapp. We went through the Manti Temple and were treated nicely by Brother Young, president of the Manti Temple.
I had now done work in all of our Temples, except the Hawaiian Temple. I have also been in the Kirtland Temple, visited the site of the Nauvoo Temple, the temple site at Independence and at Far West.
One of the last trips I took with Wealthy was to Soda Springs, Georgetown, Fish Haven, Evanston and back through Echo Canyon. When we got to the junction I asked her which way she wanted to go home. by way of Morgan and Weber Canyon or via Coalville or go on a longer trip. She remarked, "I will go with the car". We went through Coalville, Wanship, Oakley and over Kamas, where Bryant had taught school, through Heber, Charleston, Provo and on to Payson where we stayed over night with Alta Knowlton and her husband. We had a nice time with them and their lovely daughters. We then went to Bryce's Canyon, Cedar Breaks, through the tunnel to Zions Canyon and on to Cedar City, where we spent the night and then returned home. It was a wonderful trip. What would I give for another such trip.
In 1917 when we got the new Paige car, President Robinson, his wife Romina, Wealthy and I went to St. George to a fruit festival nicely arranged to honor Governor Simon Bamberger. We pitched our tents on the lawn of Mayor Miller, a cousin of President Robinson, and ate our meals with the Millers. The fruit, melons, grapes, etc. were very nice, but oh my it was Hot. We went to Zions Canyon and expected to spend the night, but the women folks said, "Nothing doing", as they would not stay over night under those great mountain walls.
