Being overcome with the Spirit!

So Kristen and I enjoy our weekly visit to the temple.  We make plans to go every saturday or nearly every saturday and we are trying to take advantage of this time that we have since it will not be as easy or convenient once kids come along.

Yesterday we had an eventful experience!  During our worship in the temple I happened to glance up and see Kristen's head tilting farther and farther down.  I thought she was maybe just resting so I gave her hand a soft squeeze to try to get some kind of a reaction out of her.  She didn't respond and her head kept tilting down so I paid more attention and noticed that all of the blood was running out of her face and she was looking ghostly pale.  By this time I knew that she was about to pass out and I quickly alerted some nearby people that I needed help.  One man by the name of John came over to support Kristen while I got closer to her and then he and I assisted Kristen in sitting down in a nice chair.  At about this time Kristen got some blood back and said she was feeling very hot and weird and then she asked me "did I pass out?".  I responded in the affirmative and told her that she had nearly fainted and that I would explain everything a little bit later.

All in all it was a little bit scary for me.  Luckily I had a good idea of what to do and was able to quickly assist her before anything traumatic happened.  I kept joking that maybe this had happened because she is pregnant, but a pregnancy test yielded nothing but negatives!
