I LOVE TO SEE THE TEMPLE

We went to Temple Square on Dec 29 with Scott, Amy, and their family. First we went inside the Visitor's Center. We walked up the spiral walkway to see the statue of the resurrected Savior, Jesus Christ. I felt very grateful that He came to earth as a baby, and showed us how to live on earth.



The weather wasn't quite too cold and we enjoyed looking at the outside displays and lights as much as touring inside the Visitor's Center.



The nativity on the reflecting pool was beautiful, and we all paused to appreciate it.



Tyler was so excited, because from here he could read the words on the front of the Temple that say: "Holiness to the Lord, The House of the Lord."



This is what he saw:



Tyler told me that his parents had told him about these words and that he'd been waiting to see them on the real temple. Hs enthusiasm reminded me of when all of us went to the Temple at our family reunion last summer to take pictures and to remember that families can be together forever if they are sealed in the temple and if they follow Jesus Christ's teachings and example.

I'm glad Grandpa and I got to be at Temple Square with Tyler and his family. I'm so grateful for Temples, which are Houses of the Lord. I can hardly wait for each of you to turn 12 years old and go to the temple, like Kylie. I promise that when you are in His House you will feel His love in great abundance. I love you!
