Yesterday I went to the temple and met with one of the counselors in the Temple Presidency and his wife to review my ordinance application and select a schedule. It was a brief conversation, and they were most adamant that the schedule be every week, and the same shift. There are three shifts to choose from. Knowing that I wouldn't be able to handle getting up at 3:30 every Saturday morning, and that I still wanted to enjoy some social life, I chose the mid-day Saturday shift, which goes from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. I start on Saturday January 2nd.
He immediately set me apart, we completed some paperwork, and then I was whisked out of his office for a photo, and a brief tour of some of the ordinance worker facilities (locker rooms, prayer meeting rooms, study room, etc.). The sisters on the mid-day shift were delighted to know I'm coming - It's the busiest shift of the entire week and I guess is a bit difficult to fill.
It was quite a whirlwind, but thankfully my friend Rebekah knew I was coming and was there to greet me - it was so good to see a familiar face. And the sister who took me on the tour was so nice that I totally felt at ease.
Of course as soon as I walked out of the temple afterwards, I kind of wondered what had just hit me. To say that I'm nervous is a bit of an understatement. But in talking with Angel, she assures me those feelings are natural, and that I will notice a difference pretty much right away after my first day.
