Our first day of training on Monday was like spring, and yet today, our final day, it is like winter.
No worries though! Once we are inside the temple, we will be warmed by the feelings that come when being instructed by the Spirit. Feelings that can be overwhelming at times.
What a tremendous day it has been!
Elder Pino of the Seventy spoke with us. He spoke in his native language of Spanish, but his message was expressed very clearly, and with humility. His message was simple, yet powerful. TREAT PATRONS WITH LOVE!
Elder and Sister Walker shared more personal experiences from their temple service, and with such emotion that the tears could not be held back.
We have been taught the following:
1 - Always follow instructions from our temple president no matter how different from the temple we served in before.
2 - Don't get caught up in Temple Drift.
3 - Show loving kindness always.
4 - "As you serve faithfully, you will know things you didn't even know you knew."
President Boyd K. Packer
We are grateful to the Walkers for their willingness to give of their time and knowledge to help train us to be better missionaries in the temple. They have consecrated their lives to serving the Lord, and are shining examples of living a Christlike life.
So, now we are off first thing in the morning to begin what we expect to be quite the adventure for the next 18 months!
