Third Day

Then came day three. The third day of my mission has probably been one of the funest days yet! So me and my grandma woke up at 5 am to get ready to go to the temple because she has a 6 hour shift over there from 6 am until noon. My grandma helps officiate in the special ordinances in the Jordan River temple of South Jordan Utah. So we got up and got down there, she lives so close that the temple is basically her backyard, but she doesnt have a back yard because she lives in a little condo community full of elderly people. :] So anyways we were down at the temple even before the crack of dawn! It was  just barely light outside, but of course the temple was wide awake. It was all lit up as if even the stone bricks used to build it were glowing themselves! ^.^ My grandma showed me, it was so funny, so at their temple they have special designated parking for "general authority" hahah. I thought it was so funny! I'm not sure if all the temples have that or not, but I thought it was cute :] Maybe only the ones in Utah do. I spent all 6 hours at the temple that day with my grandma and I just loved it! I didnt want to leave. I was just drinking in every moment of it, because the temple is so neat, and being there is special. I loved being able to participate in the ordinances that my grandma could officiate. It made them even more special and meaningful to me, even though I was doing them on behalf of other people. :] And then I spent about an hour or two in my new favorite place to work in the temple... The laundry room!! :] I loved it in there. You can just go in there and sit and fold clothing all day long and its a good peaceful time to sit and ponder about life. :] Then we came home at noon and my grandma was so tired from being on her feet all day so we just laid around and did a lot of scripture study for the rest of the day.
