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"

The North Americans in the Lima Temple, presently

Today after Church we lined up for a photo op.  From left to right are President and Sister Carlos Bowman,  RuthAnn and I, President and Sister Blaine Stratton, Kay and Steve Cordon, and Suzanne and Reed Langlois.  Both our President and Sister Bowman leave as well as the Cordons in two weeks.  We will be getting a new temple president but the Cordons will not be replaced.  The Cordons are an immense help to us here is showing us around the temple, assisting with our training, and just great neighbors and friends.  The Langlois have been here about four months previous to our arrival and worked in the San Diego Temple before their mission.

Church for us is in the La Molina Ward and is en Espanol though we have a delightful, and in English, Gospel Doctrine class.  The HP instructor is a Norte Americano also and was wearing a muy feo corbata today.  He is a BYU fan and was wearing his school tie. Coincidentally, I had my Utah tie on. I told him his tie made my eyes hurt. "Yo tengo mucho dolor en mis ojos."

Go Utes!
