Sweet Experiences

At the end of my first week of working in the Nauvoo Temple I have had many sweet experiences. Some as simple as just greeting 106 missionaries as they get to come and experience the Nauvoo Temple, helping a bride, helping an elderly blind lady but the sweetest experience was doing the initiatory for my Great Great Great Grandmother. The workers treated me so sweetly and they shed tears of joy with me as her work was done. I have been looking for their names for several years now and finally found them through a death certificate just before leaving San Diego. All in all it was a great week.

It's fun to see where all the workers are from. Some you may know

Mimi - Sister Wahlquist from your temple she said she knew you.
Chanelle - Sister Mikawa form your ward
Mom - Beckstroms from Pine Valley
Sunnie - Bro. Coleman was in the Presidency of the Boise Temple

ok, you must elaborate on who Sister Wahlquist is! Is she from the South Jordan temple or the Oquirrh Mountain Temple? Her last name is not sounding familiar. I am sooo loving the posts!
