An Approved Day

We have been approved!

As temple workers.  Our temple president is very short on workers.  We loved working in the Mesa Temple and so it seemed only natural if possible to serve here when we can.  YSA activities.  I would like to work one Friday evening a month and I think that will work out great, since we also often have Friday activities at the center.

Of course, the YSAs will come first, but if we can each give one or two or three shifts a month that will help.  It is a lovely temple and I am excited to be of use there.

SK served in the baptistry this morning.  I went in to attend the 12:00 session.  It is the last session so I didn't want to miss it.  I left the apartment at 10:45.  Today was one of those days where transportation was not on my side!  I missed the first bus by seconds.....started walking and missed another and finally caught a third.  On the second leg of the journey the bus turned off on a detour and I saw an extra five or so minutes of Copenhagen I hadn't seen before.  But I was still able to get to the temple in enough time.  Whew!

It was a sweet experience because all of the young sister missionaries were on that session!  I walked into the coat room (where everyone leaves their shoes as well) and there were 8 young sisters there wearing their name badges.  I was delighted when Sister Hadley told me that Doris will attend church with them tomorrow.  She will call and tell me how it went.

In the evening, the Telfords, SK and I walked across the street to Dalaman's...a sweet little Turkish restaurant across the street and feasted on a sumptuous meal which ended with the best baklava I have ever had.

We have had some great visiting and a lovely leisurely day.

Over the years, SK have called things we really love "approved."  Our children have all picked it up as well.  The best Mexican restaurant is "approved."  A great book or movie or food...all are given the stamp of approval.  They become known as the approved ______.

Today was an approved day.
