What a crazy week it's been! Between our area and the Meridian Temple open house, we've been moving non-stop.
On Thursday, Friday, Monday, and Tuesday, we had the opportunity to be up in Meridian. You may be thinking: "What? The open house starts on the 21st!" Right you are, but there are "vip tours" that started at the beginning of October. The people that have been visiting are the neighbors, government officials, religious leaders, and the people who worked on the temple. It hasn't been very busy, but that's about to change very quickly. We're expecting 30,050 - 40,000 to be attending, and that number is growing every day! The sister missionaries get to work in the welcome rooms and in the reception tent. It's been so fun to meet people from around the area and talk about their experience - I think it'll be even better once the open house is open to the public. I am so grateful for the opportunity we have to work at the open house - the Lord has been so generous with His people in giving them temples. What a blessing they are!
Because of the temple, we've needed to focus on just a handful of people in our areas that need our help the most. It's been slow (since we're not here), but it's been great to focus very specifically on these people.
That's about all I have time for! Sorry, this is so short, but I'll get to write on Monday this next week - whoo hoo!
I love you all so very much!!
Sister Carlson
