Coming out of temple retirement
Posted: Mon Dec 05, 2016 2:54 pm
So many stories from this weekend.
As shared in my "letter to my BP" post, I sent a copy of that letter to my EQP. My EQP is a great guy and we have a real friendship. Also, he is not endowed, but is planning to go to the temple very soon for the first time. He's 42 yrs old. I can't talk him out of it. He knows where I stand, but I can still be a good person an support him in his decisions.
Talking with him at the Ward Xmas party, I asked if he had a date to go to the temple to receive his endowment.
He said maybe next week
I ask if he had taken the temple prep classes. He has and has talked with the BP and SP about it. I told him if he's interested, I would be happy to talk with him about the 'stuff I wish I had known' before going to the temple. I said I won't insult anything and say what I shouldn't, but just give him the nuts and bolts of what to expect. He said he really appreciated the offer.
I said maybe I'll even come out of retirement to go with him. He said, "Actually, maybe you could be my escort"
