I am working in the Seattle Temple now and I am having amazing experiences. The demeanor of the sisters I work with has impacted me for the good. Being around women in the business world, you have a different experience then being around women in the Temple; joined as sisters united in Christ. I am making such wonderful friendships that I assume will last a lifetime.
One recent experience humbled me. There are Temple workers throughout the Temple at different post's available to help. One such post is at the entrance of the Temple, one or two sisters stand at the front in case someone needs directions or questions; you are at this post for 1 hour. There is not that much interaction here, especially so early in the morning. I was standing there alone for 10 minutes and it felt like 45 minutes...you know the feeling, like you're watching paint dry. The spirit gently nudged me and a scripture came to mind...Could not thou watch one hour? I prayed for forgiveness and a renewed attitude followed. After 30 minutes, a Bishop from a previous ward came through the doors with his wife and their son who was going through the Temple for the first time before his mission. It was a choice experience welcoming them on such a special day and my heart swelled with good memories from my own first time going through the Temple before my mission. The take away for me was, The Savior ask's so little from me and yet has given so much to me; providing the very way back to Him and Heavenly Father. I am truly grateful for Him and His influence in my life.
Mark 14:37
37 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one ahour?
