The Green Bus is Here

On Tuesday I got to go and volunteer at the Draper Temple open house. I was stationed at the shuttle bus tent where people would wait for the bus after they had finished the tour. The good thing about being in the tent was that I got to be with my friend Lindsey and we could talk and not have to be quiet. The bad thing is that we were outside most of the time and it was FREEZING! After about 2 1/2 hours our feet were frozen and numb! Luckily the guys that were inside the church came and switched us spots so that we could be inside. It was still really cold but wasn't as bad as inside the tent. We got to hold up these signs and let people know which bus was here.
After we were crazy enough to stay and clean the Temple with two of our young women, Hannah and Bethany. Our young women president Korie brought us Cafe Rio and the girls to meet us. We scarfed down our food changed our clothes and headed off to clean the Temple from 10:00 to midnight!
All done! Cleaning the Temple was soo much fun. We got to clean the 1st floor. I got to be the garbage girl, Lindsey and Bethany dusted and Hannah cleaned the mirrors. The best part was after we were finished we got to go and wonder around the Temple. Where ever we wanted to go we went!
It was a long night 4 to 12:30p.m. but it was so worth it, even if it did take until the next morning to warm up again! It must have been so late that the top half of the Temple lights were off! Ha! I am so glad that I was able to have this opportunity.
