A Request

 Dear Friends, Do you know how blessed you are to live so close to temples?  So blessed!  To help me stay connected to the temple, I would be very thankful if you would send me words or phrases that stand out to you from your temple visits.  It keeps me connected and thinking about the ceremonies so they stay fresh in my mind.  You can send me the words via email, Whatsapp or text (regular texting works--I just can't get emojis, pictures or lengthy messages with regular texting).  If you don't have my contact information, leave me a comment and I will send it to you.  I will be forever thankful for every word/phrase I receive.   Love from China to each of you!
