Vivie & David

The temple re-opened after it was closed two weeks for the maintenance break. It was good to be back. Pres. Black was gone to his mother’s funeral. We got to be there some extra times. An interesting note: His mother would have been 100 years old on March 17th, St. Patrick’s Day, the same as our Mother’s Birthday; and his mother died at 4 a.m. on January 30th and our Mother’s death date was January29th. She was also from Ogden, Utah.

On the 12th we had a temple coordinator and Assistant Coordinator’s Meeting. Our preparation efforts paid off and it went well = actually meaning that we are blessed.
I am learning a lot at the temple and am beginning to see some things getting line-up and getting some things completed to feel better organized. Later this week, I’ll be on the other side of the fence as an escort for my convert friend’s own endowment; I’ll be there with her receiving the instruction (instead of giving the instruction).
Due to my daily schedule, I missed a lot of the Revelations Religion classes, but tried to keep up and got to be there for the last class. Oh well, the teacher accepted my invitation to be a guest speaker at our monthly FHE group.
David spoke Spanish about the temple at the Norcross Spanish Branch. As for me, a translator helped share with them a positive experience we had had with some Spanish sisters a few days earlier so I invited and encouraged them to come.
Happy Leap Year – Happy Leap Day!
Love, Vivian
