Temple Celebration

Conner and I recently had the opportunity to participate with the youth in our ward preparing for the Draper Temple Celebration. Conner practiced with the choir, and I learned the "farmer dance." Although the long hours were rough, they were worth it! Youth from seven different stakes in the Draper area were able to perform for the prophet and other general authorities. When the prophet walked into the Conference Center, someone started singing We Thank Thee Oh God For a Prophet. Soon everyone was singing and the spirit filled the room. It was incredible. The prophet spoke, we sang Happy Birthday to Elder Eyring, and the show began. The kids did such a great job and I was so impressed with how it all came together. Conner and I have been to the Draper temple a few times and we love it. Its small, quaint, and so beautiful. I love going to the temple. I always feel the spirit so strong. We are so lucky to live in the valley of temples. I know that I will be with my family forever and I can't think of anything more comforting.
I recently lost my first patient at the hosptial. I loved taking care of little Tori, and her family was so sweet. I am so glad that they are aware of the Plan of Salvation. I can't imagine losing someone thinking that you'll never see them again. I know that the church is true and that families are forever. How lucky we are to have that knowledge.
