Ogden Temple Open House 2014

 

I got a phone call from My Bishop Thursday August 7th  asking if I could help with the Ogden Temple Open house. He said " I don't have a specific assignment could you go just go and be flexible" I was like HECK YES I will go. I'm so glad I went. We got instruction to go and be in the temple and greet all who enter. What a awesome job for 4 hours. It was amazing to see everyone's face as they walked thru the temple.

 

Dubb's work had a Contractor's Open House in July so I had been thru the temple and I will have been thru the temple 3 times before it opens. I get to go and show My Sister the Temple on August 14th. I can't wait for her to see the beautiful Temple.We have waited 2 long years for this temple to be open and I can't wait to see this beacon on my way to work each morning.

FUN FRIDAY

Today I decided I would go to the temple today. Our ward has a goal to do 938 endowments in a month. So each women had to do 5 names and the men had to do 10. I know what your thinking,
the MEN have to do 10 (yeah right) but the bishop has tons of confidence in our ward.

In fact the Harrisville 8th has been amazing with temple work. We had 93 people to a ward temple night President Watts said he has never seen a ward with that many people for a session.

Ogden Temple

So I started out at "my temple" the Ogden temple it feels like home when I go there, and it always will that is the temple I took out my endowments in and I have tons of people in my ward that work there so I always see a friendly face.

Then I decided I would go to the Salt lake Temple "I stand all amazed" when I look at this temple and the hard work the saints had to endure to make this temple happen.

Salt Lake Temple

I have been to the Salt Lake Temple at Christmas to take the youth to the lights and then Dubb has taken me there on a date night when there was a ton of snow and tons of people to see the lights.

But to go to the Temple as a Patron WOW. It was the coolest. It was everything I had thought it would be and more, to be in the Temple with that many saints the spirit was so strong. It made the walk thru all the "hecklers" outside the temple possible.

Temple Day

Today I was just hanging out and poof I got the feeling like I needed to go to the temple so off I went. What a wonderful place to be and around so many smiley and happy people. I sat next to a lady that was vision -ally impaired but you would have never known it. This sister had a special helper that helped her around what a sweet spirit she expressed.
It was awesome!!
