I actually don't have it yet; I don't leave until November. I just need to get this worked out sooner than later because they both have CRAZY work schedules that need to be worked out months in advance. Hopefully they can clear off a day ten months from now for me, though!

Thank you so much! That was a lot of help... I'm really excited for this! (And a little relieved, it's always nice to have people help you when you're doing something new.) Now I just have to ask my dad to make sure he'd be okay with that. It'll probably be my dad and my young women's president. Can't imagine anyone I'd rather have with me, under the circumstances. Thanks again for the answers and love. You guys are awesome. :)

I'm getting ready to serve a mission! The only thing is, I don't know exactly who I go to get my endowments with, if anyone. My parents are divorced, and my mom is no longer a member. Do I go with my dad? Do I go alone? There is a dear, dear friend of mine, my Young Women's president, who has been a second mother to me for almost three years now. Can she come? Or are you not supposed to go with non-family members? I just don't know if there's a gender issue with my dad coming. (I'm a girl, by the way.) :) Anyways, I don't want details, I know it's a sacred experience, and that it's an ordinance you receive as an individual, not as a family, but I am a bit nervous because I don't know how this works. Also, don't answer if it isn't appropriate, but if you go to the temple with someone to get your endowments, do they stay with you the entire time? Thanks! P.S. The questions are in bold, sorry I was a bit wordy. :)
