Working at the Temple

On Saturday morning I was able to go to the Mesa Temple and do yard work on the temple grounds. I loved it. As some may know that that is what my father does yard work and landscaping. I have been able to work for him in the past several summers. It has been great experience of doing yard work. I love working outside and enjoying all that my Father in Heaven has created for me. Sorry I don't have pictures of me working. Work goes quicker when you have several people there to help. It was nice to start work with a prayer and to be able to hear the temple president speak of the importance of the temple grounds. The group that I was with we were raking the ground by the trees to get air and to help the water get to the roots of the trees. I knew there was a lot of trees but not as many until I started the work I realized there was more than I expected. Another group was cleaning up the leaves, another was cleaning flowerbeds, another was getting the weeds and grass that grew where it wanted. It was a great time to feel the spirit of the Lord and to be in His service making the temple groups as beautiful as we could.
