I just want to say how much I’ve enjoyed working in the temple. A few years ago, I had decided that we (i.e., my future spouse and I) would work in the temple soon after getting married. My parents worked in the temple for years and enjoyed it. I wanted to take advantage of it before having children. That’s not to say that I’m delaying having children so that I can work in the temple. It’s just that most people I know who work in the temple are empty nesters and/or retired.
Besides, what better way to commit oneself to going to the temple? We’ve been working two Saturdays per month for about 6 months now. While it is tough to wake up super early on Saturday, I never regret doing so. Today, I was excited/nervous to go back to working in the temple since I had been off for over a month (due to Casey’s memorial service and the temple being closed for cleaning). It was also my first time going without Diane (since she’s at home visiting family).
Needless to say, it was a great day and very busy. We had full sessions in everything and were on the go all morning long. Plus, I got to see lots of my friends. They all came to do various ordinances. Anyway, for those in the Houston area, feel free to stop by; we’d love to see you there. 😀
