No.  It is definitely a "cannot" according to both our Temple President and
our Stake President.

Funny how one word makes all the difference.  I don't remember--he
probably said "should" although Temple presidents interpreted it "could."
 It seemed pretty strong, as I recall.

 So I wonder if it's really not on

Chicago.  After Tom died last year, I'd frequently go up with them, and
when I was done with a session, I'd help her out in the Bapistry, then
we'd all do an evening session together before going home.   I love the
temple.  But, I've been bad and haven't been up all summer!  I'll repent.
 It sure makes the day-to-day drugery easier. . .of course, Conference
has had that effect on me as well.  I even felt strong, today, and called
my (former?) sister-in-law (haven't heard from ANY of Tom's family since
he died), and asked if she'd make the cakes for Christopher's graduation
in June.  She agreed!  Ah, the Spirit is good!
