Today Sangrita showed up for baptisms. She is not a YSA, but a single mom who is trying to get ready to go to the temple. She is in the Samabula Temple Preparation class that we taught this past Sunday for Elder Wells. We invited her to come with the YSAs today, so that she could feel how wonderful being in the temple is. Scott and I were late getting to the temple. Because I knew that she had planned to come, I checked the baptistry; no Sangrita. I was sure she would be there, so I checked the dressing room once more and found her just standing in the middle of the room. She was so excited to see me, because she was nervous to be alone in the temple. I just gave her a hug, got her to the door of the baptistry, told her that the temple ladies would take good care of her, and went into the endowment session.
She had a great time, and we believe that being in the temple today had strengthened her resolve to become worthy for the rest of the blessings the temple has in store for her.
