Utah Salt Lake City Temple Square Mission
August 24, 2014

Our Beautiful Tabernacle and Temple in the Early Evening
Our week was very busy because we had two days of zone conferences.  Our responsibility was to prepare food for 200 sisters.  Sister Curtis and I went shopping on Tuesday and we filled shopping carts full of food.  We really built up our muscles by hauling those items from one place to another.  Wednesday and Thursday we prepared the meals along with a few part time senior couples who came in to help us.  Unfortunately, we weren’t able to attend the conferences because of so many responsibilities in the kitchen and Taggart handling responsibilities on Temple Square.  Those two days were very full for the sisters attending but was very spiritually uplifting for them.

We have not been as faithful in the past few transfers in meeting with our district.  We are really trying to attend district meeting each Tuesday, however hospitality tours sometimes get in the way of getting there.  Sister Genster is our leader, a wonderful sister from Germany who came out with us.  Speaking of our class, we are amazed, as I have mentioned before, that our class is speaking in sacrament meetings.  These talks are reserved for those sisters who are leaving to go home.  We have only one more transfer before we will be leaving too!

This week we also had dinner with Cesar.  He is so excited because he has completed his mission papers.  After waiting so long for this event in his life, it finally is happening.  He will be receiving his mission call probably within the next month.  We look forward with great anticipation to see where he is going and can’t wait to begin writing him when he leaves.

Christmas Lights going up on the Square in August
It seems like only yesterday that they took down Christmas lights on Temple Square and now they are putting them up again.  But we reflect back to last August when they were doing the very same thing.  It will be hard for us to come back at Christmas time and see the lights but that is on our agenda when the children and grandchildren come for a visit.  We love Temple Square and will miss it so much.

We Love our Mission!!!
