First Twin Falls Scheduled Temple Sessions!

Yahoo! We are scheduled for sessions in our new Twin Falls Temple the day it is open for regular sessions on August 26th! This temple is by appointment only, so yesterday I called and set up Collette and I to do some iniatory work. We have tons of names that our YSA Branch did the baptisms and confirmations for and we are going to get to work to continue their progress. Dale and I are scheduled for endowment sessions on Thursday evening the 28th and Friday evening the 29th. Friday the 29th, two of our young single adults are going through and then we will be with them and their families the next day for their marriage. We also have baptisms scheduled for September 12th for our YSA Branch, which is totally exciting. We can have two times, one at 5:30pm and the other at 7:30pm to accomodate work and school schedules. Dale reminded the young single adults that instead of having to meet at the stake center 2 1/2 hours before our time in the Boise Temple, we can meet there 1/2 hour before we head over to Twin Falls. So cool! Can you tell I am excited??? Now, if I can just get over the nerves for the upcoming dedication. Out last rehearsal for our dedication choir is in Shoshone this Sunday. We have been practicing a long time and we are all anxious to be a part of this glorious temple dedication. I am going over with the conductor of our dedication choir to check out the organ that is being placed in the celestial room on Tuesday morning, the 18th of Aug. Then our choir will have the last rehearsal there that evening at 7:30. We will meet at the Magic Valley Mall on Sunday, the 24th to be bussed over to the stake center adjacent to the temple an hour before our 4:30 session. We will warm up in the stake center and then walk over to the temple. Our session is the one that will be broadcast outside of our 14 stake area to any stake center that decides to carry it. So Chad and Jeremy will be able to view it in Pocatello and maybe Jef and Sarah in Idaho Falls if their stakes do so. The cornerstone session and the early afternoon session will be broadcast to our 14 stakes. I am so looking forward to this glorious experience and will post all the details soon!

This temple is a wonderful blessing for you and for the area. I have loved hearing about the progress. I did not catch before that it was by appointment only. I can't think of a better organist for the job.
