Maybe my insistence on working Friday mornings annoyed the secretary OR my statement that I was only interested in becoming an ordinance worker. I spoke to her AGAIN and she said she didn't send my form in but that she wasn't really worried about it since she doesn't have any Saturday morning openings. I asked her when this might happen and she said she didn't know. I told her I spoke to my bishop who said he hadn't received anything yet. I also mentioned that he told me the stake had to do something with the form too. She said she'd go ahead and send the form. SERIOUSLY!!! There's a gatekeeper just to work at the temple???!!! I'm going to make sure ALL my forms are completed and turned in then I will visit her EVERY Friday before I do my session. I am also going to make sure I visit the president and let him know exactly why I'm not working there yet AND that I can't wait to do that.

I may be crazy but I thought people would be GRATEFUL for anyone who wants to get up at an insane hour to do temple work. This is not a small little commitment. It isn't something I take lightly OR something I'd do if I wasn't ready to take it on. I don't like getting up early, I don't like ALL my Saturdays taken BUT I want to do this. I can't believe I'm getting attitude from this woman. Something is not right about this lady. Her actions and the delay make me want to do this even more.

This is a sacred trust this woman has-why with the attitude? I know I was agressive because I really wanted Friday mornings. I RELENTED. I AGREED TO DO IT HER WAY. She tried to dissuade me from working at all. She NEVER said anything about no Saturday openings when I was there yet she says this on the phone to me. DEFINITELY TALKING TO THE PRESIDENT ABOUT THIS. 

Tenacity??? BRING IT!!! This is not her church. Unfortunately this is the only temple within 5 minutes of where I live. This isn't Salt Lake City. There it wouldn't matter much. I could work at Draper, Jordan, Oquirrh Mountain AND Salt Lake. I don't have a choice here. She needs to remember she wants to GET workers NOT chase them off.

There must be blessings the adversary doesn't want me to receive. Whenever there's this much resistance, it's usually an indication that ths is something really good. It's like when I was preparing for my mission and unforseen challenges tried to stop me. Whenever I plan just to do a sesh things happen that normally wouldn't. That's usually when I know without a doubt I need to do it. If anything this lady has convinced me I need to do this.
