My Temple


I had the opportunity over the weekend to go to the Draper Temple dedication at the temple. We got up at 5:30 in the a.m. and headed up to watch what would become one of the most amazing experience of my life. Due to some fortunate events, we ended up in the Celestial Room and were able to watch the whole thing in living color. I cannot explain the feelings I experienced there. The spirit was overwhelming and I could not help but shed a few tears. Watching President Monson dedicate the temple and seeing the power he had was unforgettable. My life changed in that Celestial Room. I will never forget what I experienced that day. I cannot wait to someday go back to what I truly feel like is "my temple". I am so grateful I got to be apart of something so much bigger than most people realize. We have been blessed with so many beautiful temples near by to remind us of His love for us and the importance of an eternal family. I am grateful for my family. I wouldn't be here today if they wouldn't have raised me in the right way. Thank you to my family and of course my friends, neighbors and leaders who have also changed my life. You all know who you are. Thank you. I wouldn't be who I am today without all of you.
