I Love To See The Temple -- February 6, 2016

Saturday was our first rainy day, but it was a happy one. I started off the morning with an amazing self-love class on yoga glow. It was all about strong root legs but with a super ton of chest and posture opening and stretches. It is amazing what different poses and flows can do to your mind and body. I have to get up around 6 or 7 to do my yoga but it is pretty nice way to start the day. Nanay made beef calenendria (or something like that) for breakfast. Basically dinner for breakfast but I am a crazy person who loves to eat sweet potatoes or left-over pizza (that is the best!!) for breakfast so I really don't mind. We went to the temple which is about a 35 minute drive with traffic. Maybe longer. But it is only about 4 miles away. If I had the Pathfinder here and the roads of Logan, oh the places I could go! It is a really pretty temple. My favorite is the stained glass. It is a fairly old temple so I think it must have been recently renovated. The people inside were the happiest I have ever met. Brad and I did baptisms. The water was so shallow!!! I felt bad and did my best to bend my legs. I did 20! I swear I'm bountiful they let you do like three haha I missed brad getting baptized but apparently it was quite the spectacle. The older guy baptizing went in with him the first time! I think they only did about five. Haha I love the gospel and this truly is a world wide church. I am so grateful for the knowledge I have of it. I am grateful to my parents for raising me in the gospel. They have truly made me who I am today. I have been thinking a lot about them and what they have taught me. Lately, little traditions we have had over the years have been popping into my mind. Mom and Dad I love you very much. I wouldn't be here without you both I can promise you that. I also love my siblings, they are one of the absolute greatest blessings in my life. I am so grateful for all of my family. I never realized how truly lucky I was to have the family I do. To have aunts and uncles who feel more like older siblings. I never understood how rare that is. My family is the greatest blessing in my life and I have grateful we are eternal. I thought of grandpa on Wednesday. It is still hard to think life just keeps on going without him. But again, I know this life on earth is just temporary and we will all be together again. I often think how happy he would be to know I was here. He always supported me and thought whatever I was doing was wonderful. My heart is so full right now. So much love for you guys it could burst! We are so lucky! Love you to the moon and back and even more like mom always said!
