This was my day off for going to the temple--so we went to the 10 am session, and then went again this evening. Both sessions were very, very well attended. Apparently the Jordan River Temple is closed for an extended time for renovation, and 2 other nearby temples are on maintenance shutdown, so Salt Lake Temple is packed! However, both were great experiences, despite the crowds. In reality, we Saints should be rejoicing in filled-to-over-flowing temples--a kickstart to the work of the Millenium!
I stayed awake during Mission Conference, so I learned that we are being challenged also to invite family and friends to join in reading The Book of Mormon three times in three months, looking first for how God works with people [marking with pencil]; second, the references to Christ and to the Atonement, as the Book of Mormon bears its witness of the Savior [marking with red pencil]; and third, applying the lessons in The Book of Mormon to our own lives [marking with blue]. Please consider yourself invited!
Two of Gregory's friends were at the evening temple session with us, and then took us out to eat. So it was nice to have that socializing.
It is late, and I will have an early day tomorrow, so that will have to do for now.
