I LOVE the Temple!!

When I found out we were moving up to the Ogden area I think I was most excited to be living close to the temple again! What makes it even move exciting is that the Ogden temple has been renovated, remodeled, rededicated, and reopened!! We have had some great family opportunities the last few months centered around the temple. We've had special family home evening lessons as well as the opportunity to visit the temple open house and dedication "I truly Love to see the temple, I'm going there someday!" 

My sweet, beautiful eternal family! My heart was so full while touring the Ogden temple open house. It was so wonderful to go inside the temple with all my kids and husband. I couldn't help but think of the opportunities yet to come for me to take my kids to the temple. I wondered if they would choose this temple to be married in, or go through for the first time! I could feel the love of my Savior and Heavenly Father in the temple and it felt so peaceful. I didn't want the tour to end! I am so grateful for the power of the temple and the work that goes on in the temple. I can hardly wait to go to the Ogden temple! I am so excited!

Grandpa & Grandpa Lewis were able to come with us to the open house which made it even more special! I am thankful for the temple sealing and eternal families.What a wonderful blessing from our Heavenly Father to have generations linked together.

On Sunday we were able to attend the rededication of the Ogden temple. Because Mara and Ty were eight and older they were able to go too! Although we weren't in the temple (we watched it at our Stake Center) we were able to feel the spirit and listen to the uplifting talks about the temple. 

 We watched this video for one of our Family Home Evenings! It was a great message on the temple.
