Hosting at the Draper Temple

Yesterday I had the opportunity to volunteer during the Draper Temple Open House. My assignment was in the foyer as people came out (of the Stake Center) to get on their bus to that took them back to their cars.

I went on shift at 2 p.m. and basically just made sure people knew where to go. The best part was seeing people I knew (that I don't normally see). I saw Darrell and Carolyn Newman, Debbie Harrington (hadn't seen her for 15 years--since the Murray South Ward days), 2 former teachers, a principal, and Bob Breitling (a friend's dad).

The temple is a beautiful place and I'm thankful we have them. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have Jason and Jacob forever!

How nice for you. I remember I was able to host at the Las Vegas Temple back in 1991! I enjoyed it so much. Because I was single, I was able to do it at least 3 times and each time I saw people I knew. I haven't been to the Draper temple, but it sure looks beautiful on the outside. I will have to go to a session.

We went to the open house on Wednesday. We went to the "yellow" lot because we didn't have tickets.

I am impressed with how organized it all was. You guys did a fabulous job hosting the event.
