Interesting Experience
I had an interesting experience concerning fasting. I fasted this past Monday (I don't usually fast on Sunday - prefer a week-day). But during my fast I was second guessing the whole "fast" thing. Was it really helpful? What good does it do? Why fast anyway? I did not have a very good attitude. Then yesterday (Tuesday) I went to the temple and as I was waiting in initiatory (actually there was no wait -- I was the only patron in the waiting room at the time) I sat down anyway, briefly, picked up a scripture, opened it randomly and read two words. Then was called to go into initiatory. What words did I read? "Jesus fasts". It was in the heading of Matthew 4.

Wow! Thanks for sharing. And by the way, what time were you there? I'd like to be there when not all of Utah county is?
The only time I have found that it isn't busy is 2:30 - 3:00 pm. The temple workers say that everyone is picking up their kids from school.
I love how the Lord knows how to strengthen us and gives us hope! Thank you for sharing this sweet moment you had.
