A Day in the Temple


Wednesday night my sister Autumn and sister-in-law Lisa went through the Baton Rouge Temple for the first time. It was such a spiritual experience. I was lucky enough to be Lisa's escort; which made me very excited and also a little nervous too. I was trying to remember the first time I went through so I could help Lisa along as much as possible. She did great as did Autumn. It's just such and overwhelming experience but there is still so much peace that you feel at the same time. I'm so happy for both of them making that commitment to the Lord. I love the temple, I don't make it there often but when I do I never want to leave. Autumn went to the temple as preparation for her mission call to the Palmyra New York mission. And now that Lisa has gone through her and Aaron can be sealed. They make such a cute couple and I know this will make their lives even happier! Congratulations to both of you girls!
I can't talk about the temple without thinking of my wonderful in-laws. Joe's parents have been serving in the Buenos Aires Temple in Argentina for almost 9 months now. Joe's Dad was called to be the Temple President there for 3 years. We miss them both and its sad they haven't been able to meet sweet Kalli yet. But we know they are doing the Lord's work and he has blessed our whole family b/c of their service. We love and miss you mom and dad!

I didn't know that about Joe's parents. What a wonderful oppurtunity! That must have been a great experience to get to be Lisa's escort. I am so happy for both of them.
