Today was a normal Thursday; Scott taught Mission Prep at 10, the YSAs played in the institute until 1p.m., we met at the temple at 5:30 for baptisms and at 6 o'clock for the endowment session. We had 12 doing baptisms and five in the session. At about 5:40 I asked Scott in the presence of President Davis if he wanted me to stay in the font area or go to a session. President suggested that Scott attend the session with me as our YSA priesthood holders could handle the baptisms. He ended his suggestions with, "You will probably be the witness couple." I knew better, because two senior couples were already in the session as were two Fijian couples.
Two wonderful YSAs were standing outside the booth as I walked up. They offered to let me go first. I gratefully declined with "I love sitting in the back of the room." I was in fact the last women to enter the session. I looked for my YSA friends and sure enough they were near the back. I watched them grin as I walked back towards them and then I heard a voice say, "Sister Tennis." It was Scott sitting in the first seat on the first row. RATS! The two YSAs laughed and laughed at me. Nice to be the comic relief for someone. It was a wonderful session and I was glad to serve.
We took the two YSAs to dinner after at McDonalds. I appreciate that McDonalds is here as it saves me cooking a meal late at night many nights during the month, but I think that I will never again eat there when we get home. We had a great time getting to know these two fabulous women as we talked and ate. Isn't it amazing that besides filling stomaches food loosens tongues.
