I love to see the Temple

Temples have been a huge theme in all of my church meetings lately. As a high council member, my husband will be giving a talk on temples in 2 weeks, a subject assigned by the stake president. The lesson I will be presenting in Relief Society this week is on temple work, as was the lesson 2 weeks ago and the one next week. One of my nieces posted pictures of the Dallas temple on her facebook page and another niece had as her status that she loves to attend the temple. Jeff and I were able to attend a session this week in the Bountiful temple.


How blessed we are to have a plan set out by our Heavenly Father that allows us to be sealed together as families forever! While 'farming' on facebook yesterday I worked for a lady who was from upstate NY. I mentioned that my son was in that area and she asked why. I told her that he was a volunteer missionary. She asked "lds?" "Yes!" I replied. "r u lds? most people who aren't say mormon." "lol," was her answer. "no, but my mom is very active." Not wanting to be obnoxious but wanting to do a little missionary work I said "It's comforting to me to know that I can be with my family forever." "Funny you should say that. My 5 year old came home from school today and said he was afraid to die." I advised her to teach him how much God loves him so he wouldn't dwell on the scariness. She said they had talked about that, and that she had been thinking a lot lately about religion. I am positive that the Holy Ghost gave me the words to say to her. I hope that between my small effort and the influence of her mother that this sister will search out the truth and accept the Gospel.

I may even be able to follow up on this because she added me to her buddy list!
