I Love to See the Temple!!

"I love to see the Temple,

I am going there someday.

To feel the Holy Spirit,

To Listen and to pray.

For the temple is a house of God,

a place of love and beauty

I'll prepare myself while I am young.

It is my sacred duty."

On Thursday night I was able to go to the temple and do baptisms for the dead with one of my really good friends. I was very excited to go to the temple because it had been quite sometime since I had been, and the Bountiful temple is one of my favorites! I am very grateful to have the opportunity to have so many temples close by. My visit to the temple on Thursday night was short, but exactly what i needed. I have had a rough couple weeks and my head was on overload with so many different things, that I was struggling to really get any clear direction or really anything from my thoughts. After leaving the temple, my mind was very clear and at peace. I didn't receive any big answers to my prayers or have any miraculous experiences, but I got exactly what I needed.. Peace.

I am so very grateful for the temple in my life, and I am so excited for the opportunity I will have shortly, to receive my endowments as I prepare to serve a mission. I am grateful for the peace, comfort, direction, and love that i feel every time I go to the temple. I love that as soon as you enter the grounds, you can feel the change of atmosphere. The temple is truly a very sacred place, and I cannot wait until the day that I will be able to be sealed for time and all eternity in the temple!
