I love to see the Temple

  

                                                                                     

 Tuesday we went to the Draper Temple open house.  I have to admit I wasn't super excited about driving all the way down there and expecting quite a long night.  The kids were great. After waiting in a church gym and then watching a movie we loaded a bus to the temple.  Which the kids thought was great!   The Temple is in a beautiful neighborhood surrounded with houses how great would that be to walk across the street and go in the Temple!  It was so beautiful inside and the kids were so reverent and very interested in it.  There was such a calm comforting spirit while we walked through.  It was wonderful to be able to sit in the sealing room with our whole little family.  After some cookies and looking at some art work we got in line to load the bus.  While we were waiting Wyatt looked at Porter and said "Awwwww we didn't even get to see Jesus!"  So cute we always say that it is Jesus' house so I guess he just expected him to be there and I am sure he was.  I am so grateful that we went even though it was an exhausting thought.  How grateful I am to have an eternal family.
