I attended the temple last night. It was one of the most powerful experiences I have had at the temple, but that’s for another time.<\/p>\n
One of the boys I taught?\u00a2\u201a\u00c7\u00a8\u201a\u00c4\u00f9when I was in the Young Men programme and over the deacons?\u00a2\u201a\u00c7\u00a8\u201a\u00c4\u00f9took out his endowments yesterday. He asked me to come along. Of course I was more than happy to.<\/p>\n
It was a small session for the last one of the day. Then again, it wasn’t a Friday, and it’s usually the Friday ones we attend. they are always full.<\/p>\n

I am glad I went. I hope I can attend when my other deacons go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
