Montreal Temple

Each Tuesday after the office closes we go to work in the Montreal Temple.  In addition, on the day of transfers, the day before the missionaries who have completed their mission go home, we go  to the temple with those departing missionaries and several of the senior couple missionaries.   The President of the Temple and his wife come and open up the temple.  Then it is up to us senior couples to run the session and do everything that needs to be done there.  There are usually 4 or 5 couples who attend on that day.

Today was one of those days.  It was raining when we left for the temple and the rain soon turned to snow.  In fact, it is supposed to snow about 15 " tonight.  When we got inside the temple, I noticed a large bluish circular stain on my temple bag.  Upon further investigation, I found that all of my temple clothing and the bag were wet with this blue liquid.  I figured out that the windshield wiper fluid bottle had tipped over in the trunk of the car.  Somehow the lid was not tight enough and so it leaked all over my stuff.  Luckily, there was a dress and slip that I was able to borrow or I would have ended up sitting in the waiting room.  The session was small and very nice.  Just as we were finishing up, the matron handed me a sheet in French and asked me to do the remaining work in French.  I was glad that I know enough of the language to be able to read it out loud and know what I'm saying.

After the temple, we went out to Montcalm for dinner.  It was really nice to spend some time chatting with friends and eating a tasty meal.
