Traveling Tabernacle

The traveling Tabernacle was in St. George and our Stake was assigned to help with it on November 14th.  We had gone through it the week before so we understood what it was and what would be happening. The Tabernacle was run by the youth in the various wards/stakes.  The adults were acting just as ushers and other support things. Bryan and I had volunteered to be ushers but Bryan got stuck at work so I grabbed Courtney to come along with me.  She wasn't thrilled but I told her I would ensure she was with me the whole time.  However, when we showed up they tried to grab her to do a youth part in the actual Tabernacle.  She panicked a bit but then we could arrange it so she was with me.

We were responsible for making sure people went in the correct direction when they were in the Cultural Hall.  It wasn't too hard but we were asked to answer questions anyone may have as they went through.  It was fun to talk to people and Courtney kept me company.

Bryan showed up after our first hour and took over for Courtney.  She took his car home and Bryan and I finished our 2 hour shift.  I thought it was fun to see the people come through.  One of the best parts was that we were near the video of how the temples dot the Earth. It was cool to see how to video touched the people. This is the video:

I thought it was cool not only to be able to go through the Tabernacle and see what it would have looked like in ancient times, but also to be able to serve there so others could have that experience.
