Living Endowment Matters

 Temple Experiences Matter 8.30.24

This afternoon while I was serving at the recommend desk of the Taylorsville Temple, a young man and his father came in through those breathtakingly beautiful stained-glass doors and offered their recommends to be scanned. The son’s recommend showed on the screen that he was there for his own endowment, so the brother at the desk asked to see his special “living ordinance” recommend, required for those making those ordinances and covenants for themselves. Sheepishly the young man explained, “Well, the dog got hold of it…my bishop said it would be okay…” The brother at the desk asked if he still had the living recommend. The young man pulled a half-eaten recommend from his backpack and offered it. It was accepted! Literally, the dog ate his recommend! That was a first.
