The Palmyra Temple was shut down for its 2 week cleaning and refurbishing.  We both had lots of work assigned to us in the temple, mostly in the attic.  I was assigned to order a fabric stand like the ones you see in Joann’s home decoration fabrics.  Then I gathered up the rolls and rolls of upholstery fabric stored in the attic and organized them onto the fabric stand.  No pictures of this project, or the one Elder Poulson worked on since they were in the temple.  But, while we were in the attic we ventured out onto the roof of the temple to help a fellow worker with his assignment.  Here is Elder Poulson and our friend, Geoffrey.  They are not all the way up to Moroni because it is a very tight fit inside the temple to get that high.  I may try it next time though.

This is our friend, Geoffrey, going over the side to the lower level of the roof to change light bulbs.

Here I am as we were preparing to go back in through the “door” of the attic.  Notice the sunstone and the size of that “door”.

We work hard, but we’re having a great time here in “upstate New York”.  It’s missionary work unlike any other.  If it were not for those who keep the temples and sites going, there would be no place for converts or members or missionaries to go.  We love the work, the people we work with and the Lord.  We feel it a privilege to serve here in the “Cradle of the Restoration” where Joseph walked and talked with angels.
