The Bishop called me into his office last Sunday and asked me if I wanted to be a temple ordinance worker. I knew that was what he was going to ask me so I'd had time to think about it and had decided that I would say yes and give it a try. This past week I had an appointment to be at the temple at 3:00 to be interviewed and set apart. I was set apart by Brother Richard Boyer. I have to be honest that I wasn't all that excited about being an ordinance worker nor did I have any anticipation of what it was going to be like being set apart. I had said a prayer before I left the house that I would know that this was what I should be doing. The very minute Brother Boyer laid his hand on my head I was overwhelmed with emotion that I couldn't contain. I knew without a doubt that mother, Lila Mae and Annette were all there to be a part of this sacred moment. It is love that one cannot describe. To know that they are aware of me and my activities is beyond comprehension. I thought the whole experience would be insignificant and without emotion. It was on the other end of the spectrum from what I thought it would be. I wish I had a recording of the blessing because it was beautiful. Right after they wanted to take a picture of me and I was a mess. Red eyes, tears running down my face, etc.
When I got home, I took Sprout for a walk and saw this beautiful, delicate little white butterfly following me along my walk from bush to bush. And I finally had to stop and take a picture of it. I got so close I could almost see the little eyes and yet the little thing didn't move. A sign? I don't know. But, I would like to think it was another moment with my mother and sisters.
