Eternal blessings..

On Saturday we had an amazing opportunity to go through the Idaho Falls Temple. I went through it for my first time.. It is BEAUTIFUL..But the reason this day was so special is because we went through for our own ancestors. My family came and went through for deceased members of our family, and also Mitch's family came and went through for members of their family. After the session we had an even greater experience. We witnessed and participated in Mitch's parents being sealed to their family members. The spirit was so strong and it was so great to know our family members could now have the eternal blessings of being endowed and sealed to their families. I have such a strong testimony of the Temple. I have been through about 8 different temples, and no matter where you are on this earth, you can feel the same spirit in each and every temple. The house of the Lord is a place I love to go to feel peace and the love my savior has for me. It is AMAZING! So I just wanted to say how grateful I am for temples, and stress the importance of the need to go and do the work of the dead. Mitch gave an amazing lesson a few weeks ago in gospel doctrine and it really put into perspective the importance of doing your genealogy and helping your family members. They cannot advance until you do their work for them. So I am grateful that we have a temple so close, and I can't wait to keep attending the different temples all over the world with my eternal companion.... Speaking of eternal blessings.. my good friend Kelsie got married this last weekend and she was BEAUTIFUL! I didn't get any pictures at the wedding, but here are a few from the shower..
