Served in the temple. It was very busy which is actually exciting when you think about it. The Mt Timpanogos temple can serve up to 98 patrons in endowment sessions every 30 minutes. All of the sessions where I served at the Veil had at least 80 patrons. Then during my time in Initiatories we mostly had three patrons in each of the four chambers. I noticed a lot of brethren heading to Sealing sessions and I assume the vaporizer was also busy though I didn't get in there.

Cathy and I are doing a 10 AM Sealing Session today at the Payson temple and I'm going to substitute at the Mt Timpanogos temple tomorrow for Dennis Gauger because of his knee surgery.

Come Follow Me 

D&C 76:40 And this is the gospel, the glad tidings, which the voice out of the heavens bore record unto us—

41 That he came into the world, even Jesus, to be crucified for the world, and to bear the sins of the world, and to sanctify the world, and to cleanse it from all unrighteousness;

"Bear, borne, carry, deliver. These are powerful, heartening messianic words. They convey help and hope for safe movement from where we are to where we need to be—but cannot get without assistance. These words also connote burden, struggle, and fatigue—words most appropriate in describing the mission of Him who, at unspeakable cost, lifts us up when we have fallen, carries us forward when strength is gone, delivers us safely home when safety seems far beyond our reach. “My Father sent me,” He said, “that I might be lifted up upon the cross…that as I have been lifted up…even so should men be lifted up…to…me.”

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, Apostle, October 2015
