cleaning the temple

Last night I went for the first time to help clean the temple. I had been told the usual jobs were things like polishing furniture, vaccuuming, etc. We ended up on a detail to polish and scrub the kitchen and bathrooms in the ancillary building. It was HARD WORK! Leslie Nelson and I were scrubbing the walls, grout in the floor, toilets, baseboards, etc. etc. etc. Whew! My house is never that clean! It was good, hard work and we came home tired. Even though it was a harder job than I was expecting, I was still glad to be able to do my part to help maintain the temple and grounds.
