Favorite recent and insightful quote I have read recently:

Favorite quote I have recently read: "The word temple comes from the Latin templum, which signifies an extended open space that has been marked out for the observation of the sky. In what manner is such a space marked out? According to Dr. Hugh Nibley, the word templum, "designates a building specifically designed for interpreting signs in the heavens--a sort of observatory where one gets one's bearings on the universe." The root "tem-" in Greek and Latin denotes a "cutting" or intersection of two lines at right angles, the point where the "cardo" and "decumanus" cross, hence where the four regions come together." Matthew Brown - "The Gate of Heaven"

Day Nine, two more to go...

Another day in the Provo Temple and further instruction from Elder and Sister Pinegar. Just a note to any who are contemplating a senior missionary assignment and I suppose it would apply to the younger missionaries as well are how many coughs and runny noses there seems to be in our group of temple missionaries.  Perhaps the close quarters and 10-12 hour days together spreads these rhino viruses.  I suggest you be careful, wash often, and shake hands less if possible. Apparently, several years ago hand shakes were banned in the MTC because of flu bugs here. In any case the instruction was superb from the Pinegars and others.

We also had opportunities to study our individual languages which was helpful. This afternoon we are returning to the temple for further study. We are enjoying our last days here.
