Phones in the Temple

Today Denton and I were officiating in a session in the Guatemala Temple. All of a sudden we hear a cell phone buzz, A sister reaches down her blouse and pulls out her phone. She turns it off and sticks it back down her blouse' At the next stopping point I ask her to come with me. I tell her she needs to put her phone in her locker. She is a little put out with me and says"I turned it off". I told her that phones do not ever belong in the Celestial Room let alone in the Temple and she needed to put it in her locker. She did and we walked back into the session. Really now! why would you take a phone into a session!?

This is a PLAY BOY BUNNY pillow that one of the Latina Hermanas brought on her mission!!!!
The Sister coordinator came to me and didn't know what to do, she asked me if I would handle it. So, the Hermana came back into the room and I asked her if she knew what this was? She said YES! I told her it didn't really represent things that we as missionaries of the Church would like to represent or stand for. She agreed, I asked her if I could take it and get ride of it for her. She said Yes, so I took it and I'm still not sure if she understood that I was going to throw it away. But she didn't say anything as I took it. Why would someone bring a pillow like that on a mission?! Well it is gone now and I hope she doesn't come back looking for it.

Look and see if you can tell who this Santa might be. Yes it is your Dad! Christmas in the CCM December 2010!!
Santa making sure that Presidente Steimle had been a good Presidente to all those missionaries,
