On January 30th I took a days vacation and worked as a volunteer at the Draper Temple Open House. What an awesome experience.

There were so many people that came through on our shift which was from 10:00-2:00. They estimated aht approximately 1,500 people came through an hour that day. It was very interesting to see peoples reactions as they went through. I was stationed outside the marriage waiting room and close to the brides dressing room. The brides dressing room is beautiful. Then I did a shift from 5:00 - 9:00 p.m. at the Church. I helped to get people on and off the buses that went up to the temple. That was very interesting. We heard that Elder Ballard came through the temple after the 2:00 shift ended and he had Martin Luther King III with him. Martin Luther King III is very impressed with the LDS Church and what they do with the welfare program. He was very impressed with the Hurricane Katrina relief that the Church helped with. I have to say this was one of the most tiring things I have done with very inspiring. I have not been on a tour yet but I am going to in the next couple of weeks.
