As for the lesson, as it was the fifth Sunday, we had a joint Priesthood/Relief Society meeting and the Bishop taught about temples.  He said that he liked to think that holding a current temple recommend is analogous to the Jewish people putting the blood on their doors during the passover.  He said that it can offer us similar protection.

Have a great week!
