Im such a slacker, I know!! We have had so many wonderful and spiritually uplifting things happen to us in our family and in our valley and I have totally not written it down!! We had our temple dedication last week and it was AMAZING to be able to be apart of it!! On Saturday was the temple cultural celebration, and you had to have tickets to go which meant you either had to have a child in the program or "know" someone ha ha. Well thankfully I have awesome friends who just happen to be going to help watch a girl whose siblings were in the program and whose parents were ushers. And they just happen to have an extra ticket. So I was more than excited when Jessie called me and asked what I was doing that night. YAY!! So we were about 40 yards or less from the prophet and I was struggling so bad not to let the water works go. The spirit was definitely strong just in his presence!! The celebration that the youth did was amazing and you could tell they worked so hard on it!! I will be forever grateful to have been there. Then Sunday was the dedication. My mom watched the boys for me to be able to go to the 12 o'clock session, and it was just awesome to be able to have them dedicate our temple, our very own here like 5 minutes away!! My testimony was so strengthed by being able to sit there and be a witness to the dedication and I know the blessings of going to the temple will strengthen my family and especially me in these not so steady times!!
