First Day serving in the Temple

Today is the day after a big snow storm rolled in. We walked to the Subway to catch a ride to the temple. We actually did really well making our connections, just by our selves. We ride the subway all the way down to 68th street, the very bottom of Central Park. Then we catch a bus that goes thru the lower end of the park and drops us off right in front of the temple.

The temple is right across the street from Lincoln Center, performing arts center. Right inside the door you go left to go into the temple, or right to go into the stake center and church offices. Just inside the temple door to your left past the recommend desk is the Baptismal font. When taking a shift there during the day, you are in charge of washing all the white clothes used. The elevator takes you up to the 4th where you rent white clothing, 5th floor where dressings rooms are and endowment room. The sixth floor is two sealing rooms and then President's and matron's offices. During our 6 hour shift, you rotate to every floor. There were about 12 brothers and sisters in prayer meeting. They sure are glad to have us. We so love the temple and are so grateful to be able to serve there on fridays.
