After singing in the choir during the first session of the the Mount Timpanogos Utah Temple dedication on Oct. 13, Kris Hale of the Lindon Utah Stake went to the hospital where she gave birth to a son that evening. She and her husband, Brent, named the child Nathan Jaren Hale. They selected the name because, in Hebrew, Nathan means "given of God" and Jaren means "to sing."
