The Temple


A couple of weeks before Christmas Matt and Renee came to visit and we went to the temple to do baptisms for my ancestors, including some of my grandparents. It was such a powerful experience. I have never cried before doing baptisms but this time I was so full of joy I couldn't help it. I was smiling ear to ear and couldn't stop crying with excitement knowing that I had found these names because of my great-grandfather Raymond and now was starting to do his work in the temple. It was amazing.

After such a wonderful experience we were happy to be able to go to the temple again in North Carolina over Christmas break. On the Friday after Christmas we went in and did initiatories for all of the names, and then on Saturday went in for endowments. While several of us were in doing a session, Riley and Brett's dad were doing more baptisms.


I am so very grateful for this gospel and for everything it has taught me and I especially love the temple!
