18 November 2017 ASL endowment

I just realized I hadn't published this page until now so it will appear out of order, but it is what it is. Last night, Friday 17 November, was ASL temple night in which we did a ASL endowment session. Now when I write about the temple things I try to keep it simple and not say or write anything I shouldn't, saying this please understand I'm not keeping things secret, but sacred. Sister Slade and I were patrons for the session, which was good because it allowed the deaf members to be the ordinance workers. We work in the temple everyday, so it was better for them. Patty and I were the witness couple. I have been in a few ASL sessions, so I knew how it was, but I did learn something last night I didn't know. Being vague, here it is. In the prayer circle, the worker organizing the prayer and giving it, is the follower (if there is one). The voice giving instruction is James. If Peter is the officiator then James is the follower. The other things I learned, not because I didn't know it, but never saw it was the ASL group signing the prayer. As in a regular session the culmination of the endowment is the vale, so it was with the ASL session. Without saying much, I really enjoyed the vale in ASL. It takes longer for sure, but it's interesting. All in all it was a good session and shift. I will finish this page with reports on some up coming events, as they happen. Everyday at the temple is special, something always keeps me thinking and ever worshiping my God. I thank Him daily for the opportunity to serve here and in the temple. There are ups and downs but, what a blessing the temple is to all the world. We are a covenant people for sure. Until next time, keep the faith.
