The Temple

This month there has been a lot of talk of the Temple. Our bishop challenged our ward to have a least one ward member at the Temple every day this month. The first Saturday of the month we attended the Temple together as a couple for the first time in several years. We went with the Bushars because Claudia was taking out her endowments for her mission. Last Wednesday evening I went on my own and the Friday we missed ward Temple night but David and I went and walked around the Temple for a date, and then today our Relief Society lesson was about the Temple. As I sat and listened to the lesson I reflected on all the blessing I have been given due to my Temple attendance. When I went they to take out my endowments I had the impression that David and I were meant to be married and to attend the Temple frequently together as a couple. Also looking back I can see that many times I have gone with a question or problem on my mind and answers have come and I believe it's because I have attended the Temple. When we lived in San Diego I went to the temple weekly until Treyven was born and I didn't realize at the time what a huge blessing that was not only to me but to our whole family. When we moved back to St. George I let my recommend expire and have just recently gotten back to the Temple and have felt and seen such a difference. Yesterday I was reading the Ensign and had a thought come into my mind that answered a problem that has been weighing heavy on both David and I. I say and enjoyed the Spirit that came with the answer and them went and told David the thought. The Temple is such a huge blessing to our family. There have been many times where I have felt that the problems that we are going thru are to big and I want to give up, but knowing some of the answers I have learned in the Temple I know that David and I are meant to be married and the more often we attend the stronger we will be as a couple and the more blessings we will have. It seems that everytime some aspect of our life is coming to a close that Heavenly Father has opened a new door that has been exactly what we have needed. I need to take time more often to think of all the blessings that have been given to me and thanks Heavenly Father more often than I do. I am so blessed to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
