It was a wonderful day!

On March 4th. I had the opportunity to help with the open house at the Draper Temple.What a choice experience that was.I was assigned to help in the baptistry.First I ushered people to the chapel by the baptistry,That was great because it is close to the beginning of the tour and it was great to see the peoples faces as they came in.While I was there,Richard Paul Evans came through,I said Richard in a quiet voice,he heard me and came over and shook my hand.He is one of my all time favorite authors,(he said he wanted my job).It was great to see him,and I have to believe that he remembered me,it was awesome.My second post was just outside the baptistry chapel,We were quite busy and the time went by fast.It was great to see the youth groups come through,there were quite a few.There were alot of people in wheelchairs,they seemed so happy to be there,which was great.Next I was at the baptismal font.That was so great.I loved the small children and watch them approach the font.Two lttle boys were very curious about it and after standing there for a minute or two one of them looked up at me and asked,Is it a hot tub or a swimming pool?That was priceless!It was a great spiritual experience and I so enjoyed being the Temple.It was an experience that only comes along once in a life time,and I am so greatful that I took the time to go.It takes 740 people per day to take care of the open house and it all runs so smoothly.Now I am looking forward to the dedication on March22,2009
