Temples

This past week has been one of the best weeks I have had in a while. Not only did I get to go with my best friend Sidney and my second family to St. George I also got to attend Youth Conference at USU. St. George was seriously so much fun, it was hot and we did so many fun and crazy things to entertain ourselves. I loved having little sisters around and it brought back memories of when I was little and being the younger sibling. Youth Conference was amazing and not only did I have a stalker, I became friends with 2 ants, one I named Rupert and Wade helped name the other one Herbert the Pervert. haha We played tons of games, talked all night, danced the night away in the rain and got to know the youth in my stake better.

One thing though that made both St. George and Youth Conference amazing was having the temple in my sight the whole time. I loved looking at these beautiful building and just thinking and pondering about this church and gospel. We walked around the St. George temple grounds one day and even just being on the temple grounds you can feel a great feeling of peace and happiness. Then at youth conference right out my bedroom window I had a perfect view of the Logan temple. One night I had troubles going to bed so I just lifted up my blinds and stared at the temple. Looking at it just light up as it shined in the dark hours of Logan was so pretty to see. The past week I have done a lot of thinking about temples and what takes place in them and why I should keep the temple in my view at all times. I realized the temple is my biggest destination that I’m heading towards right now. I am on a road trip of life and the journey ends at the Temple doors standing there with my worthy husband who is going to love me and treat me and our future family with respect at all times. He will be a man who honors his priesthood, loves everyone and loves this church. I couldn’t help but think about me being with my family for eternity because of that temple. As I was sitting on the grass at the St. George temple I thought how lucky I am that my parents were married in the temple. That I am able to be with them forever, then I thought of my future children and how I want to live my life the way how I need to so my kids can have the same blessing that I got. Temples are seriously one of the best things here on earth; it’s a place of refuge, peace and assurance that this church is true. I am so excited for the Brigham City Temple to be finished. I have loved watching it slowly come together and it really is so pretty. I am thrilled that I will be able to be a part of the temple celebration. I love temples and the work that takes place within the walls. They are seriously some of the prettiest things I have ever seen and I’m so happy that this past week I have been able to keep these two temples in my sight and in my mind at all week.

        I LOVE TO SEE THE TEMPLE….IM GOING THERE SOMEDAY!!!
