Saturday (16 April0 was really a beautiful day for me! Every Saturday I have a chance to work at the Jordan River Utah Temple. The shift coordinator was out of town, so she asked me if i would take care of her role at the temple. So the day was really busy - from about 4:15 AM until 11:30 AM, but it was also so wonderful. I was asked to do training in our preparation meeting and at the end, I had a chance to share my testimony of Jesus Christ. In that moment, I truly felt that He understands my quiet anxieties and fears perfectly and he knows me! I felt His love and it was sweet to me.
I was able to walk through the halls of the temple to check on the different areas and check in with different workers. I also had some quiet moments walking by some of the beautiful art work or in the stairwell and was able to reflect on so many things. My overall feeling is that everything is going to be ok! I'm going to be ok!
In the afternoon, I met Lori and she took me to find a beautiful journal for marking down important things. I also wanted to use it to write down little things that I notice and kind things people do. Then we just talked and talked and talked. It was helpful to have someone to process things with.
Candace was also super helpful to talk through experiences their family has had and things I need to be aware of. That was so kind of her to take the time to talk through everything.
I am so grateful for each member of my family. Each has been a listening ear and a comfort and a strength. There is belleza and gozo in family! May you find the same in your family today.
