Went on an assignment. Was told we'd be cleaning the Conference Center, but instead ended up over at the old Tabernacle. Spent a few hours mopping (the entire balcony is wood and only the aisles on the main floor are carpeted) and dusting. There was an organ tuner working on the pipes, plus the spotlights were down getting ready for the upcoming Christmas programs, also the Christmas deco was being put up. Every once in a while we'd be asked to stop and a missionary would give the acoustic demonstration to a tour (the building is amazing--you can hear a pin drop clear in the back). Anyway, we cleaned and got it ready for Elder Wirthlin's funeral. I keep hearing his voice from last conference "come what may and love it." That's my motto for the day. We have an enrichment meeting tonight, and my leader called me on my way to this assignment saying that the two turkeys put in the church's fridge last Wednesday were still 75% frozen, so she ended up going out and purchasing two fresh turkeys, as our turkey cooker didn't have time to do a quick thaw. Remember: Come what may and love it.

What a privilage to clean the tabernacle! I got to clean cupboards in the kitchen this morning. I would much rather have done what you did! We were able to clean the temple back in June and that was such an honor! Clean in your whites! We also got a tour upstairs and downstairs where not too many people get to go! Was fun. Those are cherished assignments!
