As we anticipate being in the temple, I am always excited to be there and witness the miracles that take place each and every time we are there. Often the spirit is so strong you feel that the rooms are crowded and full. Some experiences are too precious to share, Some happen with such subtlety that until you look back at the events of our shift it might have gone unnoticed. We often start the shift short handed, and yet we have not ever had to stop work or even slow down because the Lord provides help when and where we need it.
I am so very grateful the Lord allows us to be there each week, to be of assistance to those who wish to serve and assist in the saving ordinances we believe must be completed for our kindred dead.
Because of Dons' desire to find the connections to our ancestors, and my calling in our ward as "Temple Ordinance Card Coordinator" we have many name cards for Ward family and our family members that need their work done. I can take several each week and be there when they are baptized and confirmed. I love to witness the youth of our Faith partaking of the spirit in the Temple through their service in the Baptistry, and their willingness to help with my names when they come in thinking they will be doing temple names. Thanks to all who help, to all who encourage and mostly to those whose prayers we feel the results of on a daily basis.
