I went to the dinner tonight. Dressed up and everything. I’ve been working on the EA Obligation (I’m gonna do the long form), and I was reciting it all the way there.
When I arrived, there were five young faces I didn’t recognize. They were from UCLA, all asking questions. I sat at the same table with the WM and tried to answer some questions so he could eat.
Afterward, when we got up, one of my brothers–one of the older ones–told me, “I’ve never met someone so young who knew so much about Masonry and as has much passion as you do.” He touched my shoulder. “You are an important asset to this Lodge, young man.”
I choked up. “Thank you,” I told him. “That really means a lot to me.”
Then, we went up and showed them the Temple. I think all five will come back.
