Tonight on the eve before our WYM Mission Reunion, we gathered with many of our missionaries for a session in the Orem Temple.  When we arrived, just before 6:00 p.m., we found missionaries waiting outside the temple and a note on the large doors explaining that the temple was closed because of a power outage.  What a surprise!  We all stood there, thinking, “How could this happen on this very night?”  The temple windows were dark.  People who had come to the temple had gone home.  The parking lot was quite empty.

We stayed, visiting with friends we’d not seen in a long time, and just about as we were to say goodbye until tomorrow’s reunion, someone came out to tell us that the power was working and we could come in!  We were thrilled.  It turned out that we had almost the entire session to ourselves, with our beloved missionaries.  It was such a sweet feeling to be there with them.

Afterwards, John (no surprise) suggested that anyone able should join us at Taco Amigo for their famous peach shakes.  What a fun and perfect evening.
