Larry and I have decided that our once a month temple attendance was pretty rediculous seeing as we only live about a half hour from the temple. So, we've decided to go every week on Fridays and it has been so great! Last Friday was absolutely amazing!!!! We went to do a sealing assignment for our ward and we had the most amazing sealer. This man was wonderful. He started off normal but then after the first couple of sealings he said, "if there are any questions, please feel free to ask". Well we did, and we were taught for the next hour our so. It was so so so neat. He was a mission president in Philadelphia and said that I reminded him of one of the sisters from the mission. He talked to Larry and I a lot and just like a mission president, when he would ask a question he kept looking to "his missionaries". Well, probably to Larry because Larry knew all the answers. It was a wonderful experience though.
After we left the sealing room Larry, I and his parents decided to go to the celestial room to sit, enjoy the Spirit of the temple, and discuss some of the things we'd learned. The sealer came in and said, "I'm not supposed to give tours, but I'd like to show you around." It was so cool! He showed us where the Holy of Holy's was, a lot of history and a couple sealing rooms i didn't know existed. I'm so grateful to that man for taking the time to talk and teach us. I'm so excited to keep going to the temple and learning lots and lots more. What a wonderful place!
Here are some pictures of when we went with Larry's parents. The pics are kinda blurry. Sorry.
Larry and I went with Beckie and Chance Boekweg along with a friend of Chances, that Saturday. This is us in the visitors center.
