One of my assignments to serve here be able to stand in this heavenly room for a half hour today. Such a pleasure and joy!This week I started back to work in the temple. The last ten weeks I had taken a leave of absence and was so eager to get back and serve there. The shift change was so that I could go and be rested and not worried over the amount of sleep I had the night before.
The early morning shift was more difficult to settle down to sleep with the anticipation of getting up at 4:00 a.m. Now that I need to be at the temple by 9:45 a.m. it is easier to get myself settled and wake at a normal time for the day.
My experience on the new shift was wonderful. The sisters were so welcoming and many expressed their gratitude and gave a me a warm reception to join them each week. My trainer, Sister Rowe was so complimentary. She had me pass off the ordinances and praised me and it made me feel good in that I still knew them well enough and was able to get right in to be assigned for the positions in all the posts.
The temple president, President Brown visited our prayer meeting and shared a message that I felt was like drinking from a well of living water. He taught us the five heresies of the gospel. I was so touched by the information he shared and how he presented it that fed our spirits before we went to our assignments.
It was a great day. I look forward to going each week. However the next two weeks the temple will be closed for their semi-annual maintenance closing.
