Temple Treasures - We are blessed to work with awesome people!

One of the greatest Temple Treasures that we have are the amazing people we are blessed to work with.

This is Elske and Gerrit Murling who are the Assistant to the Matron and the President's first counselor.  They are at the temple every day that it is open for the duration and they have nearly an hour of travel between their home and the Temple.  We love them and appreciate their loving and dedicated support.  They lift our spirits whenever we are together and we enjoy their wonderful humor, their abilities and understanding of our Heavenly Father's house, the kind and loving way they interact with the workers and the patrons and their desire to work hard at any task that is laid before them. 

Our Second counselor and his wife are Jacque and Magda Rumes from St. Niklaas Belgium.  They have come to the temple twice a week if it was possible for them but with the distance being 2 1/2 hours away, with an additional 1 to 1 1/2 hours for the traffic slowdowns and stops around the large cities like Antwerpen, it is very difficult for them to make this trip each week. They are delightful and we love them and are grateful for their diligence in serving whenever they can.  They have recently requested to be released for this and other reasons and we will miss our association with them very much.  How grateful we are to have had the chance to serve with them for the past four months.
