So
the Provo temple has been closed for the next couple weeks for
cleaning. Since it's my p-day today, two of the districts in my branch
got to go and help clean the temple for some service. It was pretty
great! I was excited before we even got there! When we found out what we
were doing it was even better! The sisters were going to help with a
chandelier and the elders got to clean lockers. There are some perks to
being a sister missionary!
The
sisters got to clean the huge chandelier in the celestial room! It was
awesome! Each individual crystal was taken off and cleaned then
placed back on the frame. I got to help with the reassembling process.
It was so incredible to see the fine details on it! The crystals are all
chained together by small gold bows. They are so delicate and you can
tell the attention to the details that had to go into it.
Temples truly are the house of our Heavenly Father on earth!
When
we were just about to leave, the workers told us that they were going to
light the chandelier up for us. All 5 of us laid on the ground directly
under the chandler when it lit up. It was beyond beautiful.
We
joked that putting it back together was like decorating a Christmas
tree. I would take that experience over a tree any day! I loved that I
got to serve my Father in Heaven so directly by cleaning His house.
When everything was said and done the workers surprised us by taking us
into the bride's room. It was sooo beautiful. That experience made me so
excited about my decision to be married in the temple. There is no
place on earth that I would settle for besides my Father's house. I
won't because I know that I cannot get back to Him with any other venue.
His path is straight and narrow and I'm sticking to it always.
