If you’ve been considering receiving your temple endowment but hesitate bc temples aren’t fully open yet, DON’T WAIT. My daughter received her endowments in a temple open at stage 2. It was an unreal, unforgettable experience.
There’s something special about knowing a temple opened because you would be there. YOU. The Lord opened a temple for you. A staff of temple workers gleefully arrived there to help just you (& consequently are able to attend themselves bc YOU came.)
My daughter & her parents were the only patrons in the entire temple. (Obviously not always going to be true at stage 2, but maybe close.) The whole session was empty, dedicated to one person. She was able to sit alone w/the Lord in the Celestial Room for as long as she wanted.
To some, this might seem lonely. Maybe temple workers wearing masks seems isolating. But I literally forgot they were wearing them. I could feel their smiles as though I could see them. There was joy in their every movement. This was a rare & holy moment in all our lives.
Anyway, don’t wait. It would be a terrible waste—not only to go one more day w/o the light, knowledge, & defense of holy covenants upon you, but a waste, in the midst of a dark event, to stand in the bright light of God, all the more concentrated because of the darkness.
For the rest of us who yearn to return, take time for meditation. Return in your mind to the temple. Commit yourselves to making wherever you stand a holy place. Renew your covenants in prayer & supplication. Do his work & serve his children.
You too will behold his marvelous light in the darkness. You too, having cheerfully done all things that lie in your power, “may stand still, with the utmost assurance, to see the salvation of God.” (D&C 123:17) #HearHim
