‘I Love to See the Temple’ a song that brings joy to our hearts as we think of the wonderful things that take place there. Brayle could sing this song at age 2. I'm sure many of the other grandchildren do, too. Knowing my parents were married in the temple gave me the desire and foundation to do the same. Although they didn’t attend often, the fact that their vows were made in this holy place helped us to take the next step, be worthy and go regularly. What a difference it makes in a marriage & blessings received.
The first time I was in the Salt Lake Temple doing baptisms as a fourteen year old, I felt a strong presence from our ancestors. It was a very familiar place as if I had walked those halls before. What a joy it was to take out my endowments at the same time Sandra did and to be at her ceremony. It is fun to visit other temples as well. Recently I have been to the Washington DC, Boise and Manhattan Temples where the Spirit tells you it is true. Temple attendance blesses our lives and brings peace, joy & answers to prayers. I often put your names on the prayer roll.
Dad was just made a temple worker starting in the baptistry last week. After his interview, we went on a session where we were asked to be the witness couple. It was our first time to do this in the Jordan River Temple. Twenty six years ago we also had that honor in the Los Angeles Temple.
Tell us what the temple means to you or the experiences you have had there.
