the temple

We went to the temple last evening. It was supposed to be an English session, but because there were two young men going through for the first time, it was in Spanish. We were handed headsets and they worked out just fine. It was odd to watch the same thing as we watch in Logan and to hear faint Spanish dubbed in. They dont try to match the lips, though. After the session, Jay was asked to be a witness for some sealings of proxy children to proxy parents. We even got to kneel at the altar for some! We didnt understand what was being said (but we know' because we have done the same thing in Logan). I gained two new things last night. One, that Satan is very real and he is using all the energy he has to break our desire to do right. We cannot afford to be casual in our obedience to God's commandments. How can you win a war if you go into it half-heartedly and the other side is giving it all they have!!! he has everything to gain by adding one more of God's children to his pile of spiritual carnage. Second, I sat in the Celestial room with all its light and beauty and decided that with all my desire, I dont want to go anywhere but to the Celestial Kingdom where Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are. I LIKE being surrounded by the choice people of the church!! I have the desire now to go to the temple more frequently. It will be on my list of "must do's".
