Three own Endowments at the 10:15 Session. Leslie Ann Weber and her husband Simon Peter Weber received their Endowments and Kolemen Allen Spillman who would be sealed this day after his own Endowment. We also had another young man Jerry Clay Brooks who is a Missionary would be on the 1:00 pm Session. Then at 12:30 pm we had a sealing Makenzie Lana Brown and Kolemen Allen Spillman. It was a busy day at the Monticello Utah Temple and it is always so fun to see so many come to our temple to receive their own Endowments. Leslie Ann was so excited and had waited for this special moment. To see the couples light up in their eyes makes tears come to my eyes. I love these tender moments.

Mommy found her country boy and I get to call him daddy!!
Saturday-- 18 November 2017
Ray Palmer's Granddaughter Cheyenne Jillian Palmer and Jens Christian Grover would be sealed in the Monticello Utah Temple today by President James Joseph Harris. They had not ask anyone to seal them until they got to the temple. Ray Palmer is a class mate to Jim Harris and he was thrilled that Jim was going to seal the couple. It was very full in the Sealing Room and President Harris did a beautiful job in his speaking to them before he sealed them. They were a darling couple but it was sad that her parents weren't there since they were sealed about one month ago. I guess the girl and her step mother had a fight and she wouldn't be sealed to them and she ask them not to come to the temple and her reception. What a heart breaking time for her parents that they couldn't be involved in Cheyenne's happy day. I hope she has forgiven them now and is involved in their lives. Jens's mother Jenny, just took Cheyenne in her arms and was her mother. Cheyenne had a little girl about 2 years old and I had the opportunity with her Aunt which she was baby sitter in day care, to take the little girl into the Sealing Room to be sealed to her mother Cheyenne and step father Jens. It was so beautiful to see the family around the altar to be sealed forever, everyone was crying. I thank my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ for such a special spiritual day....
Autumn Beth Evans- Own Endowments
18 November 2017--1015 am
Autumn Beth Evans is an employer and friend of Rex Anderson and he came to talk to me because she was nervous that her mother would come to the Temple and she didn't want her to be there. She had been verbally abusive by her mother and she was afraid she would go into an anxiety attack if she showed up. They wanted me to tell Jim that only 3 people could be with Autumn but we were not going to lye because her mother had a recommend to enter in the Temple. Autumn's sister would fly in and be her escort and Rex Anderson would be in the session also, that would be the three. It worked out to be a beautiful day because her mother never heard that she was going to the temple to receive her own endowment from her sister. Autumn had been to my house asking questions about if she could make her own temple dress and I told her yes as long as it wasn't too low in the front and it could be long and the dress selves could be to her wrist. Anyway she didn't bring her dress because she said the material was not a pure white color but off white. She was able to get a top to go with her skirt. She look beautiful and sweet in her dress. She was very nervous but because she new me she relaxed and had a very spiritual experience. I was happy I was there to share her special day with the Lord.

Own Endowment- Sydney Redd
Thursday- 12 October 2017-- 7:15 pm
Sydney Redd was a darling girl. She had the spirit with her so strong that you could feel the spirit just radiate from her. It was really an honor to give her the Instructions about wearing the garment. She would be married on Oct. 21, 2017 at the Salt Lake Temple. It is so fun to help these young women when they come to the Temple when they are well prepared. She thanked me so much for helping her feel relaxed so she wasn't so nervous. She told me the Endowment was very different than what she thought but she loved feeling the spirit in the Temple. The Young Single Adults are so prepared to enter the house of the Lord these days and it is a blessing for me to be there with them.

Farmington, New Mexico, Missionary Temple Day
9 October 2017
This was a Monday and we opened the Monticello Temple for a special day with the Farmington, New Mexico, Missionaries to come to the temple. All six of the Temple Presidency was there to help on this busy day. I was impressed that about half of the Missionaries were sisters. They brought about 145 or so Missionaries to do Temple work in the Monticello Temple and next week would take about that many to the Albuquerque Temple. It was such a spiritual time with the Elders and the Sisters with other couples driving them. We also had Missionary couples come with them. It was a spiritual day and I thank my Heavenly Father for these special blessings that I we receive often in the temple.

Elder Joseph W. Sitati- Visits the Monticello Utah Temple
5 October 2017
A General Authority Elder Joseph W. Sitati visits the temple for 3 days. He arrives the night before and stays in the Temple Presidents home, October 4, 2017. On Thursday October 5, 2017 the meetings start for President James J. Harris at 8:30 am to 10:00 am. We broke for lunch about 1:00 pm, the matron and assistant matrons had prepare the meal but Elder Sitati was fasting for some family problems so we ate without him while he went into the bedroom. We started our next meeting with all the presidency there at 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm then at 4:00 he met with the matron and assistant matrons alone until 5:30 pm. I was nervous but he made us all feel very released. He was a very tall and black man. He had an accent and was very hard to understand what he was asking of us. He certainly had the spirit with him and we had a wonderful day with Elder Sitati.
6 October 2017
The next day we had interviews alone with Elder Joseph W. Sitati at 8:00 am to 10:00 am. He ask me questions about my husband and his health and I told him that he just had blood work done and he was doing really good with his diabetes. I was very frightened and I told him I couldn't understand what questions he was asking of me so he spoke slower and louder so I could hear him. I am sure he wanted to know how well we got along with all the presidency and how the temple work was going.
Then at 10:30 am to 12:30 pm he observed the ordinances. He went on a session, watched male initorary, observed sealings. Then we went to lunch and Elder Sitati ate with us this day. At 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm he met with Stake Presidencies and Sealers. At 2:30 pm to 3:00 pm Elder Sitati and President Livingston had their last meeting together. At 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm was our Presidency closing meeting. It was wonderful to be in the presents of a General Authority Elder Joseph W. Sitati. I got so I could understand him better when I paid attention, he was truly a spiritual man. Loves these special days.

Tuesday AM Shift
Tuesday-- 19 September 2017
Own Endowment at 12:15 pm Session- Sherene Horrocks. It is always an honor to give the instructions on wearing the garment. Special times with the young women. I always point out the picture of Christ when you walk into the temple and when you look at his foot or sandal and keep your eyes on the foot as you walk past him, the ankle with turn and follow you in the temple and when you leave the ankle moves and Christ follows you out the temple. I love that picture.

Sealing President Yarbrough did
Friday Night- Sept. 8, 2017,
It was fun to help with this sealing because I have been helping Tara when she started coming a year ago to do Baptisms as a new convert. She is a beautiful blond and has a special spirit about her. She is the only member in her family including her children. She is from Cortez, Colorado and of her friends are Ordinance workers which are great friends to help her. She was baptized about one year ago and took her Endowments out in the Monticello Utah Temple a year ago and now she is sealed to a wonderful man. She wasn't nervous just so excited. She says her children are not members but they are great supporters and his children aren't active I guess because neither of them any children to be there at their sealing. They both had been married before and divorced so I am very happy for them to find each other and see them so happy. Saturday they will have a get together with their children. The temple is wonderful!!! Their names are Robert Glen Taylor and Tara Lin C. They both are from Cortez, Colorado.

Own Endowment- Blanding young man
Saturday-- 2 September 2017
We served on our PM shift so we had an own Endowment at 3:15 pm. President Harris did the instructions on wearing the garment. His name is Walker Boyd Black. It is wonderful to see these young men come to receive their own Endowment and their escort with them. Sometimes these Missionaries seem very young at 18 but they are serving the Lord and being his hands. As I think about this more I don't think we worked the Saturday pm shift. We should had that day off unless we traded a shift that day which happens sometimes.

Saturday- August 26, 2017
As you can tell Saturday pm shift is our time to serve in the temple. At 1:00 pm another special young women received her own Endowment her name was Barbara Angela Freeman. She was an angel in my eyes. I just can't believe so many special spirits that have increased my testimony each week in this month. I think the missionaries are much more prepared to leave on their missions than they use to years and years ago. It is wonderful to feel so many good spirits in the temples on my shift. I love the temple and I am so thankful for these wonderful experiences that the Lord gave me.
