My friend Kersina Nichols, who is in YW with me, took me to go to the Columbia SC temple. We made arrangement with babysitting (I dropped off Levi and Isaac with her hubby, Ruby stayed back with Wes and Austin and after her nap she went with Shelley), and we drove the 3 hours to get to the temple! We arrived and our hearts dropped as we saw that there were no cars in the parking lot. Not a good sign! We knocked on the doors and we saw a sweet brother come out, telling me that the temple was closed. what!!?? no!!?? He then told us that the temple was not open until the evening, but that there were local members doing the cleaning. He invited us to do it with them. You bet! So, my sweet 9 months prego friend and I cleaned up and down, in and out. It was awesome. The Celestial room was given to us and we were able to enjoy that together. We visited with some locals about their sacrifice in attending (going once a month, staying in a hotel and commuting back 5 hours). Kersina and I enjoyed a local pig pit diner for lunch, my first time eating yellow BBQ sauce! Back to the three hours home and we called it a day. Good service.
