It is interesting to note the differences. Preparation meetings are gender specific although the women meet with the men once a month. The temple still feels like a maze BUT it is filled with such history and beautiful architectural features from long ago. The sisters I work with are sweet and kind. The first difference I noticed was a half hour break. Saturday mornings at the Logan temple were extremely busy and did not allow for breaks at all. The cafeteria is open however. Own endowments are done in the same place regular initiatories are held and the dressing room has a section for them to prepare instead of a separate area like Logan.

The old sealing room is incredible. It is a beautiful wing of an older home decorated with amazing antique office furniture. The lady giving me the tour told me Jesus the Christ was written there. I love the history of the temple and I love even more that I can work there. Such a blessing. I was a little worried about my initiatory retention but yesterday she had me follow along on a card with the newer sister workers. Something suddenly clicked and I feel like I could do them right now although I'm going to review it in my head several times before next week. I think if I do initiatories a couple times myself before next week I can handle it.

The most compelling thing that happened on our tour was when the lady conducting it told me a door led to the temple president's home. Wow! I asked if he had a television in his home. That is just such a trip. As I sit here thinking about it however I think it sounds like a myth. The hallway leading to the parking lot is looong. Soon I'll have the building down in my head. I get a parking place too which makes me happy. I worked 2 veils yesterday and I feel like I can work initiatories next week. However, whatever I will ensure I'm ready to go. I want to be ready to serve as needed with minimal training time.
