I Love To See The Temple

On the way home from Pocatello. {WAIT: Is that really ON THE WAY?} OK, so we took the long way around from Pocatello to home. We drove through Rexburg and were amazed at the growth and the temple that stands like a beacon on the hill. It really was an awesome sight to drive into town. The children were all captivated and Amelia announced that she would sing "I Love To See The Temple" as soon as she saw the temple. And she did. Soon, all the children were gracing us with their sweet voices. There is such a reverent and beautiful atmosphere there, and I know that the children could feel it. As we drove into the parking lot Amelia asked, "Is Jesus here?" Emma immediately repeated the question and they were determined that this was the place that Jesus visited. We posed for pictures and as we walked back to the car, Emma begged to go inside. She asked and asked and asked. Then she cried. I am so greatful that my children recognize the reverence and the presence of the Spirit at the temple. What a tender moment I hope they will remember. {I know I will}

This makes me happy! There is no greater joy than knowing friends you love are loving the gospel and teaching it to their kids!
