Temple Day

And it came to pass that Ammon, being filled with theSpirit of God, therefore he perceived the thoughts of the king.

I love this! True and it's like having a secret power.

It is not ward temple night tonight. It is tomorrow. When I started tripping last night it was after midnight. 

It's almost time for my temple shift. I'm so excited!!! I am fine doing everything although I'd like to review initiatories before performing them. What I like about temple work is that it is the only time and place women can use the priesthood power to perform ordinances. Feeling that when this is done is incredible and there is not much sweeter than to be used as an instrument in this way. I am grateful for so much. 

Women couldn't serve missions for so long. For most of time anyway. I was able to do that and I loved it. When I saw how Cindy reacted to those boys from Parley's ward I was grateful for my mission experience that taught me to build on common beliefs and to condemn ill behavior without condemning the person. I don't think she condemned them, I just think she didn't know how to react. I was able to retain their friendship without condoning what wasn't uplifting at the same time. 

My mission AND the temple are experiences that are just like signing up for blessings.
