Tonight Clayton and I had the chance to go to the Draper Temple dedication that was broadcasted down at our church building. It was interesting to me to feel the difference in just a few hours worth of time. This morning it was just like any other sacrament meeting, and the kids in nursery were crazy this afternoon, so we were perfectly fine to go home quickly after church! But when we came back tonight, the feeling was completely different. As they displayed the pictures of the temple up on the screen and had the beautiful music of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, my heart filled with the Spirit more than it has in a long time. I felt as though I was actually in the temple rather than just my regular church building, and the Lord's Spirit was there with us, as we prepared to dedicate His house. I haven't gotten to the temple for a while, and it was overwhelming to me the feeling that is there in the temple as I felt it for the first time in a while. My testimony of temples grew so much stronger after being there tonight and participating in its dedication. I am so thankful for the temples we have here on the earth, the blessings they bring, and the work that is done there. I know that the ordinances performed there are true and grant us our salvation and a chance to live with our Father and with our families again. As I get closer to being a mom, I am becoming more and more grateful for the chance that I have to be sealed to Clayton for eternity, and now we can be sealed to our son. The blessing of that is beyond my comprehension, but it is one that I am most certainly grateful for. And I am so thankful that I am worthy and able to be in His house and to have those feelings that I did tonight. The Spirit was so strong and touched me so deeply, and I am thankful for the renewed testimony I gained by being there.
