A Day at the Temple with the Family = A Day to Remember

Last night we had the opportunity to go through the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House. It was such a neat experience. The kids were all so excited. Landon was enthralled with the stars on the windows and just kept saying temple and Jesus over and over. Brayden was so cute. He was so excited and asking different questions while we were watching the video. Then, as we approached the temple, he folded his arms and would not unfold them at all. Going down the stairs I told him he could use the railing, and he said he wanted to keep his arms folded for Heavenly Father and Jesus. Gavin loved the sealing room. We've been talking about the Plan of Salvation lately and he was very comforted to know that we would be together forever. It was wonderful to stand in the sealing room looking in the mirror together and tell the kids how we would be together forever because we had been sealed in the temple. We all had a wonderful experience and left feeling the spirit. I was very grateful for the opportunity to share so many special things with my children and see them get excited for the day when they could come to the temple to do work for their ancestors that have passed away.
