Our church house is just past the temple. In fact, we walk to the back of the temple through the family history library which is a separate building, down stairs to get to our church house.

Monastery

We spend five days a week in the temple. The first week at the temple we had the early schedule, which was seven in the morning to one in the afternoon. On Saturday we are at the temple from four thirty until noon. This week we had the late schedule. On the late schedule, we start at three in the afternoon and leave at nine in the evening and on Saturday we are in the temple from noon until eight in the evening. There are guards that are posted along the way. They call ahead on their walkie talkies if they see us come or go anywhere to let the next guard in the direction we are walking know that we are coming.



This Monastery is across the street from our apartment. We look out the window every day. In the mornings we can hear their bell. In the evenings we can see them sitting on the circular stairs reading, singing or just maybe visiting. They run the school that is on our same street, close to the MTC (CCM).
