ONCE IN A LIFETIME

SO LAST THURSDAY, I HAD THE CHANCE TO SERVE AT THE DRAPER TEMPLE, IT WAS THE VIPS DAY, THEY TOLD US THERE WOULD BE SOME IMPORTANT PEOPLE COMING THAT DAY TO THE TEMPLE AND NOT TO ASK FOR THERE AUTOGRAPH. I WAS HELPING OUT WITH THE FOOD, THERE WAS 7 OTHER LADY'S FROM OUR WARD HELPING OUT, IT WAS FUN TO JUST TALK AND GET TO KNOW THEM BETTER, WHAT NEAT LADY'S, WE WERE PREPARING THE FOOD AT THE CHURCH NEXT TO THE TEMPLE, THEY ASKED US IF WE WANTED TO GO ON A TOUR OF THE TEMPLE OF COURSE WE DID WHAT A BEAUTIFUL TEMPLE IT IS I WAS SO OVERCOME WITH EMOTIONS THAT DAY, THE SPIRIT WAS SO STRONG, I WAS SO GLADE I GOT THE CHANCE TO SERVE, THIS MAY BE MY ONLY CHANCE TO SERVE AT A TEMPLE OPEN HOUSE, I'M SO THANKFUL FOR ALL THE MEN AND WOMEN THAT HAD A PART OF BUILDING THIS BEAUTIFUL TEMPLE, ALL THERE MANY HARD HOURS OF WORK THEY PUT INTO IT, PRESIDENT GORDON B. HINCKLEY SAY " MUCH OF THE WORK THAT GOES ON WITHIN TEMPLES IS CONCERNED WITH THE FAMILY. BASIC TO AN UNDERSTANDING OF ITS MEANING IS RECOGNITION OF THE FACT THAT EVEN AS WE EXISTED AS CHILDREN OF GOD BEFORE WE WERE BORN INTO THIS WORLD, SO ALSO SHALL WE CONTINUE TO LIVE AFTER DEATH; AND THE TREASURED AND SATISFYING RELATIONSHIPS OF MORTALITY, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND MEANINGFUL OF WHICH ARE FOUND IN THE FAMILY, MAY CONTINUE IN THE WORLD TO COME".
