Sister Peterson and I led the last session today, which was full to capacity.  About 45 minutes after starting, a brother had a seizure and I needed to put in action the emergency system; the first time for this temple, I believe.  I wasn’t sure initially that it wasn’t a cardiac arrest; but after getting to him and checking him out, it appeared to be a gran mal seizure.  No one around him knew if he was epileptic.  We got him some space and after 10 minutes or so it ran the course.  We got him into a wheel chair and his branch president took him to family. 

When his senses came back he said he was epileptic, was on medication, and had experienced episodes previously.  His branch and district had arrived early this morning, after traveling most of the night on a school bus, and had been in the temple most of the day.  It was quite upsetting for the patrons in the session.  However, as we continued the session, a peace settled over them that all was well.
