I got my temple recommend! I get to go do Baptisms for the dead, except, I really can't do baptisms, so I just do confirmations. I got all dressed up in my church clothes and went inside and down stairs.. Actually, I'm betting how you are wondering how I got down the stairs? Well, I didn't really go "Down" the stairs.. I took the elevator.. seriously, can you see me wheeling down that stair case? I don't think so! Anyways. We waited for my turn. There were quite a lot of youth there that day, probably because it was during the Thanksgiving season. But what I didn't realize is that I had to be in all white, and I wasn't. I was a little worried, seeing all of the people there. And my thing to do when I see a lot of people I don't know, and I don't know what they will think or act towards me, so I close my eyes.. Yep, I have done that since the first time of my accident and I still seem to do it. When they came out to get me, they draped a white sheet over my body, to cover the colored clothes. Then they took just me and my mom, and Julie and Rory and my dad and went into a special room. There they placed their hands on my head and with the Priesthood that they held, they confirmed "the past" with the gift of the Holy Ghost. I was in proxy for them. It was a wonderful feeling. The Holy Ghost was so strong and present in the room. Even the brother who was saying the names, was struggling with talking because the spirit was so strong. I want to do this every month. My mom has now gotten me new white pants and tie so that I can do this. This is a miracle that I can do it, and I love it!
