i went to do baptisms by myself for the first time and it was a friday morning so i was the only person there. the workers apologized and said they'd try to find a priest to baptize me. i really didn't mind because i was having a nice time sitting in the chapel reading mosiah haha.
but i was kind of thinking, wow! im waiting in uncertainty because i need someone else to come and help me with this. i can't do it on my own, and i am just hoping that someone happens to come in out of the goodness of their heart so i can be baptized. it was a really small scale experience, I'd say at maximum I was waiting 15 minutes or so, but it reminded me that we come in and do work for people who have had to wait to have this opportunity. they couldn't be who they want to be or go where they want to go if i wasnt here to step in. i just think temple work is such a blessing for us as a community; it connects us across the veil in really unique and tangible ways
