McPhie Missionary Minutes

sisters preparing plates for temple wprkers

On Monday April 22 2013 the temple couples missionaries did a service project the sisters baked cookies and made spaghetti and salad and some Filipino dishes that I can't spell. Our first councilor in the temple presidency brother Wong cooked chicken for all the workers we pitched in to purchase the chicken. Then for desert our Temple president and his wife (brother and sister Cuyong ) bought and dished out ice cream. before they started to eat we had a prayer on the food by one of the workers. then Brother Ciriako welcomed them there (I didn't know that some of the grounds workers and a few of the others were not members of the church ) but he knew and among other things he said he told them that it wasn't by accident that they were working on the sacred facilities of the church and he encouraged them to find out more about the church he said other things that impressed me I hope that it also touched them. They ate to there hearts content. then sister Flor the temple secretary had them play a game. She is very funny and it was fun to watch them try to do the actions that she had them doing. The Filipinos love to participate in sing or acting or what ever. We were happy that every thing turned out so well.After we cleaned up every thing we went to S&R to do our shopping then on the way back to the temple we stopped at Shop Wise a store on C5 to get me some shoe inserts I tried them out to day in the Temple for about eight hours I thought my feet was going to fall off I hope I can get used to them. I will try to add some pictures later.
