When I was 12, I got to go on my first trip to the temple to
do baptisms for the dead. Living in Corcoran, our temple was the Los Angeles
temple. I remember that we fasted before we went, and broke our fast after we
were done with our temple work. I only remember being in the temple, I don’t
remember anything from before or after. We got to do 11 baptisms each, and
fewer confirmations than that.
I also remember going one time to the Oakland Temple when we
lived in Turlock, and I’m pretty sure those are the only two times I ever got
to do baptisms.
