The Temple

I'm grateful for the temple! All growing up, I sang the song "I love to see the temple, I'll go inside someday. I'll covenant with my Father, I'll promise to obey" and today I went through and received my endowment. When it was all over, I wanted to hit the rewind button and start again---it was a lot to take in! But I'm grateful there are temples all over and I'll be able to go back over and over again. I love the peace that can be felt inside the temple. I'm grateful for my mom who was my escort, and for my dad. They are the best parents I could have asked for!

Two of my past Young Women leaders. Love them!

These unique and wonderful buildings, and the ordinances administered therein, represent the ultimate in our worship. These ordinances become the most profound expressions of our theology. I urge our people everywhere, with all of the persuasiveness of which I am capable, to live worthy to hold a temple recommend, to secure one and regard it as a precious asset, and to make a greater effort to go to the house of the Lord and partake of the spirit and the blessings to be had therein. I am satisfied that every man or woman who goes to the temple in a spirit of sincerity and faith leaves the house of the Lord a better man or woman. There is need for constant improvement in all of our lives. There is need occasionally to leave the noise and the tumult of the world and step within the walls of a sacred house of God, there to feel His spirit in an environment of holiness and peace."
