TEMPLE STORIES



A member of our stake presidency told the following stories:


A husband and wife were driving to the Temple when an argument broke out between them. At length, silence reigned as they each felt that the other was wrong. As they arrived at the Temple parking lot, they realized they could not enter that sacred edifice while feeling anger toward one another. They talked out their disagreement, reconciled, apologized to each other and entered the Temple. An officiator asked them to be the witness couple at the session and they agreed. He also informed them that they would have the honor of being in the endowment session with the Prophet and his entourage. What if they had not reconciled their argument first?


A 30 year old down syndrome man had worked for years to be worthy to enter the House of the Lord. He had a terrible speech impediment and was very difficult to understand. When it came time to approach the veil, he could nowhere be found. After a diligent search, he was seen coming down the stairs from the Holy of Holies upper floor. “Where have you been,” they queried. He spoke to them without any speech impediment whatever and said, “Talking to Jesus.” No sooner had he finished that short remark and his speech impediment returned.
