Temple Cleaning

Our ward was assigned to help clean the temple last week. We decided it would be fun to volunteer. Typically you see the same parts of the temple, but cleaning allowed us to see other areas that are less often visited.

Both of us vacuumed for the two hours we were cleaning. We went in at almost 10 at night, as the temple was closing. We vacuumed the laundry room downstairs, some hallways, and then the boy's dressing room. Yep, Emily went in the guy's changing room. However, Travis was the only guy in there, so it wasn't too exciting. Plus it is exactly like the girl's dressing room, just mirrored.

The temple is really clean. In fact, while we were vacuuming we often wondered if we were even doing anything. It was cool to be able to serve in the temple and see different parts of it. They even took us to the fourth floor which is where all the machinery, spare fabric, and other odds and ends are stored. A fun date night of sorts.
