Entering the Temple In A Whole New Light

It was four day after our arrival in Veracruz
that we entered the temple for the first time

We were so anxious to enter.

The Temple Matrons








The first week in the temple was overwhelming. We attended every session, every prayer meeting, meet 80+ obreros (temple workers), meet hundreds of the faithful participants, and started to memorize the temple ordinances. We were spending a minimum of 12 hours a day inside it's walls. After the first week, we started on a schedule and were still spending many hours in the temple each week. And YES for the first 3 months I, Lindy, was in the laundry room. It gave me much incentive to learn the language. By the end of first three months, I started participants in the ordianances and now nine months later I am a pro. The first week, Rob was conducting prayer meetings and the 2nd week did his first sealing. It is a pure miracle as to how quickly his spanish returned (from his mission days, 44 years prior). As 2nd counselor he is over the physical operations of the temple, so he had to learn an entire new vocabulary than that of the mission field. Heavenly Father certainly issues out blessings as they are needed.
