The temple

Saturday I went through the temple for the first time.

For those of you who don't know, a temple is a building that LDS members revere as very sacred and it's a building where we do special work for relatives that have passed away. There are promises we make in the temple between God and ourselves and it's a very special day when you're able to enter for the first time. You have to be worthy enough to go in, and meet certain moral requirements.


For 19 years I've been taught about the temple and looked at it with wide, wondering eyes. What would it be like inside? Would I feel peaceful? Would I feel beautiful?

As I slipped on my temple dress, I felt pure and wonderful. I was dressed in white and I felt like I floated from room to room.

It was everything I thought it would be and so much more. I know that temples are sacred and beautiful to Heavenly Father. By being inside, we're able to hear Heavenly Father's voice more clearly.

It was such an amazing day
