"Please tell my Mother!"

(Originally posted on 3/18/06)

Something especially wonderful happened to me this morning at the Washington, D. C. Temple (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints)
There was a small multi-racial/ethnic group of us performing vicarious marriages and family sealings for others, some of whom had waited for over 200 years for this Priesthood blessing.
Sister Salazar was pregnant with her next child, and she and her husband were at the altar, when the realization came into my mind that her forthcoming baby's spirit also was there with us.
This child was so very grateful to and proud of soon being "Born under the Covenant"(due date is August, 2006) to this humble sister and brother.
The prompting grew stronger, and, as the sacred work progressed, I continued to bask in this realization.
Finally, and with more than a little impatience, a small voice pleaded, "Please tell my Mother!".
And so I did.
