25 years ago, on July 6, 1983, I received my endowment in the Salt Lake Temple. I love the temple so much. I love the peace that I feel there, and the warmth in my heart knowing that because of the blessings of the temple, my family can be forever. I am always amazed by the love I feel for and from the temple workers when I attend and the love I feel for the person who has died that I am doing the work for. Some people not of my faith may not understand why the LDS people do the work in the temple that we do, but I know that it only brings me happiness. I know I don't always understand everything, but I'm OK with that because the peace I feel helps me to know that someday I will understand. I do believe that Heavenly Father wants me to return to live with him and when that day comes it will be wonderful. I hope that over the next 25 years, I will be able to travel to many other temples. I'm grateful that there are temples so close to me and that I can be at a temple within just a few minutes and put the world aside just for a little while. I know that is a great blessing and that there are so many people that have to sacrifice and travel great distances in order to enjoy the blessings of the temple.

Beautiful post Teresa. Great picture too! Love you!
That was such a great post! We just had a lesson in RS about Temples on sunday, it makes me feel a little guilty for not going more often! I don't know if my mom told you, Bella's blessing will be on 8/3-I know it is the sunday after G's homecoming, but if you can come, we would love to have you!
Mom you are a great example. I love you!
hi mom
