Temple Excursion


Za
Za suggested that we go and visit the temple tonight. She originally wanted to go and see the Salt Lake Temple, but we decided to go to the Provo Temple instead. We miss having a Temple just a few blocks away where we could walk or ride our bikes to see it. It is amazing how being on the temple grounds brings a feeling of peace. I loved it when a few months ago we were doing sealings and the sealer explained that the priesthood power is the same in every temple, so it doesn't really matter what temple you are married in or whatever. It gives me comfort to know that although we miss seeing the Mesa temple, that the temples here in Utah, although different in appearance, have the same priesthood authority, and are just as special as the one we have come to love. Now we have lots of them to love!

I hope you find a mom to switch with! That was such a blessing for me!! What a blessings that temples are the same in that way no matter where you go!

Thank you for reminding me to recognize the blessing of a close temple. I take it for granted too often. Glad you guys are feeling more settled in---what an adventure!
