I had a wonderful evening at the temple tonight. My friend Mary (center) went through for the very 1st time.
Elamae Campbell went as her Escort. They were there at 3PM this afternoon and I had to work so as soon as I got off work I headed to Boise. It was such a spiritual experience to be with her as she received her endowment.
Mary was so happy and appreciative to EVERYONE !!! It was great to see her enthusiasm for this special day.
When I was secretary in the R.S. I went to see Mary with the 1st counselor. Mary was inactive at the time and she and I became fast friends. We spent a lot of time together since my husband was overseas. We would have the missionaries over for dinner and they would teach Mary the discussions. I gave her my old scriptures and we watched several church moves together. I helped her move 3 different times and she is currently living in Mountain Home. She use to have a hard time with using the Lords name in vain so I started telling her that I was going to get a soap on a rope so she could wash her mouth out
every time she slipped! She use to thank me and laugh! I was so thrilled to see how far she has progressed! It was a very special evening with her. My testimony was strengthened and the spirit was strong.
