I Love To See The Temple

February 9th is a day I will remember for the rest of my life.
That day started off a little rocky, I was having a bad hair day and kinda grumpy. We were running late, and it was snowing. after getting all ready we headed to Salt lake. As we passed Provo hunter informs us that he had left his garments at home. My mom and I looked at each other and rolled our eyes, we now had to turn all the way around to go get them.  
At last we finally arrived at the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. as we walked in we met up with my Uncle Shawn who was escorting hunter (my dad couldn't because of his broken leg). This old cute man checked our recommend to make sure everything was correct. As we were talking to him he was telling us that him and his wife had served a mission in Accra Ghana! SMALL world right? Just wait it gets smaller! Anyways back to the story..  Hunter and Shawn when one way and my mom and I went another. I wasn't sure what I was about to do but I was so excited and ready for what came next! A nice old lady walked my through every step. Come to find out her neighbor was called to serve in Minneapolis Speaking Hmong.. My mom and I couldn't believe it! The Temple Matron came in to this room and talk to me about the Temple and the things that go on in the temple! She told me that what I was doing that day I would never do again, and that it was MY day. She asked me where I was serving and I replied Houston Texas, she Immediately  said thank goodness for Texas missionaries... ( She was converted in Houston Texas). We met someone who had a connection to all of our missions! It was totally meant to be! ;) 
I walked in to the chapel and saw Hunter,Shawn, Grams, Gramps it was so fun to see them! we waited and a bunch of friends showed up to support us. Smiths, Woods, Robyn, Bishop, Adrie and Laurin and her husband Brock. 
All I can say is the Temple is amazing! really guys! if you haven't gone through the temple
 MAKE IT A GOAL!!! 
I feel like the temple is home... It feels so familiar but so new at the same time it so weird! I am so excited to be able to go and do temple work. It really is amazing! I am so grateful for everyone who has supported me and been great examples I honestly don't think I would be where I am now if it weren't for you all!  My uncle gave me great advice before we started the session. he told me not to stress out and try to understand everything,  it will take a life time to understand everything. He said just to relax and enjoy it. BEST ADVICE ever!  
PEEPS GO TO THE TEMPLE!  
Get yourself worthy if your not I promise its worth the hard work!! 

. I love to see the temple.
I’m 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;
This is my sacred duty.

2. I love to see the temple.
I’ll go inside someday.
I’ll cov’nant with my Father;
I’ll promise to obey.
For the temple is a holy place
Where we are sealed together.
As a child of God, I’ve learned this truth:
A family is forever.

 This has been one of my favorite primary songs since I was little! I really do love to see the temple and I'm so excited to go back!!
