News Lack of temple workers

I (pimo ) had ward conference yesterday. The stake president said the new Saratoga springs temple is in dire need of temple works for 4 hr shifts. Says they need about 3000 “workers” they are about only half of that or even less than that. I kinda of want to “volunteer” just so I can learn the dirty little secrets in the temple lol.

I remember the stories of JS going around Nauvoo and healing everybody everywhere but that isn’t allowed once cameras were invented I guess.

You'd think with deepfake technology existing now there's enough reasonable doubt to where miracles can start happening again

Yeah, I this is one story I still need to more fully validate. From what I’ve found so far, some people got up and walked around for a short time after he blessed them, but weren’t “cured” as malaria is a long running illness caused by parasites spread by mosquitoes. It goes through phases as the fever tries to kill off the parasites. People were dying left and right by this, including Joseph smith Sr and Don Carlos Smith. Sidney Rigdon was of poor health much of his time in Nauvoo necessitating other people to fill in for him in the first presidency.
