Living so close to school I have found a lot of time to go visit the Temple and last week when I went to visit the Temple I had a great experience and was reminded of the purpose of this life! I woke uup early on Saturday morning and headed to the Draper Temple. When I got there there was a group of people, about my age ready to enter for baptisms. I had the thought of, "I should hurry and get there before them so I don't need to wait for them" but I decided to just enter the Temple after them (there was no reason for me to rush) I was so glad I waited. I watched as they checked in and realized that for one of the girls it was her first time. Everyone who had come with her had already been through the Temple and worked to find family names specifically so they could join her on her first trip to the Temple. As they turned the corner there was a rush of excitement and the girl who was the center of the trip turned to one of the Temple workers and said, "Those are my parents". She had surprised her parents by coming to the Temple during their shift but that wasn't the best part. It turns out that the people with her were her siblings. It was such a cool reminder of the power the Temples have and the importance of family in our lives. It was so sweet to see this family band together and see their happiness of all being in the Temple together for the first time!
As Stephanie likes to say... Life? Life is good! Although it will be better in a couple of weeks when I get to listen to the Prophet's voice during General Conference!
