Temple Trip!!!!

Hello loved ones! 

Not a whole ton of time, soo here's the highlight of the week: We were given the opportunity to go to the temple!!! Annnd I didn't take a single picture. Sorry. 

Why is going to the temple such an exciting thing you may ask? It's in temples that families are sealed together for time and all eternity. It's in temples where those who didn't have the chance to hear and accept the Gospel of Jesus Christ while they were on Earth are given the opportunity to do so after their death. "The end of all activity in the Church is to see that a man and a woman with

their children are happy at home, sealed for eternity." It's in the temple that that dream is realized. I love that place. If you want to learn more about the temple, ask the missionaries! They can and will help you! The blessings of the Gospel of Jesus Christ are not meant to be reserved for a select few. You can learn how to receive them, and then you can act. Do something to come closer to Him today. Now. Don't wait! 

I love you all, and I love the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Have a fantabulous week.

Hey hey hey hey hey!

Wow this week flew by... not much time, so suffice it to say, people were taught, service was done, testimonies were born (you may take that both ways), and lives were blessed (especially our own... kinda interesting how that works out.). Next Monday, we'll have the opportunity to go to the temple, and we could not be more excited. That's what it's all about. Loving God, making promises with Him to follow Him and His Son (thereby receiving His promises of peace in this life and Eternal Life after), and loving His children (our brothers and sisters) enough to share the way back to Him with them. There's not a greater joy to be found.

Do something to show your love for your Father and his Children this week. See how much joy it can bring. 

I love you all, have a phenomenal week.
