O que Elder Scott disse realmente é verdade: “Nunca iremos estar perdidos se soubermos onde está o Templo!”
Amo estar no Templo, renovando meus convênios sagrados.

Translation: What Elder Scott really said is truth: “We will never be lost if we know where the temple is!” I love being in the Temple, renewing my sacred covenants.

Your mom sent this to me and it was certainly worth the read. Thank you for sharing your experiences, Hannah. No matter the circumstances we are always facing changes and challenges. I don’t know why, but we humans are so resistant to this constant! Attending the Temple usually puts things in perspective for me and for this I am ever grateful. I remember visiting the Swiss Temple 30 some years ago and finding it so comforting, that in the midst of our travels so far from home there was this beacon of spiritual light.

Great post Hannah – but then I’m your mom and hold a certain bias.

But in this case, you have truly “hit the nail on the head” and there are lessons here for all of us.

I have not been working in the temple since my knee surgery and do miss it. I will be going back in October and look forward once again to having that extra boost every other week!

This message really resonated with me Hannah. Not the Nutella part, I don’t like Nutella, but 1. the peace and familiarity I also feel at the Temple and 2. the methods I use to recreate those peaceful feelings in my own home. When things are really going right at home, when I’m treasuring my husband and children, when I’m sticking to my regular scripture study and prayer I can get nearer to the peace I have inside the Temple. I am thankful for your Paris ward for being positive about the long distance to the Temple. It sets a very good example to us who have Temples so close.

Thank you for sharing this personal essay about the temple Hannah. This week, the Oquirrh Mountain Temple will be dedicated just a short walk from our home. It will be a great blessing to those who attend. Although Carrie and I have lived near a temple for most of our married life, we remember the many times when they were very far away. This week, I've posted an entry every day about the temple as we prepare for the dedication of this beautiful new temple. Starting with Philo Dibble and the Three Degrees of Glory, each post is a reminder of the importance and efficacy of the covenants we made in the House of the Lord. We hope, even though you live far away, that the feelings you have in the temple can be carried with you wherever you live.
