Each week I go to the temple. Even though it's super close so the travel time isn't very long, it still is about a 2 hour trip. While being at the temple is always such a great experience, you get plenty of ponder time and get to enjoy the peace because you are waiting for so long just to end up doing only 2 or 3 names. Sometimes only 1. Now some would think, "Is it even worth it?" or "Someone else can do those 2 names that I would get to do and I can spend my time doing something else". But here is the thought...You may wait 2 or 3 hours do only do one name but think about how long that person has been waiting. These names come from the 1500's and 1600's which means they've been waiting for over 400 years! When the temple worker told us that yesterday it really put things into perspective. 2 or 3 hours of your time is really insignificant compared to how long the people on the other side have been waiting to be baptized. So now that I have that in mind, it makes going to the temple seem all the more worth it and it reminds me to keep an eternal perspective because that is what truly matters
