Today is a super short entry! We got to go to the temple today, so our Preparation Day activities have been shortened. We got to go to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple, and it is beautiful! If you stand in front of the temple, you can see the whole mission PLUS downtown Salt Lake City!
This past weekend, we had a baptism for a girl whose family isn't active in the church. She is such a wonderful example of faith and diligence. She is the oldest child, so her younger siblings are watching her example. I am grateful and humbled to have helped teach her about the gospel and help her make the covenant of baptism. It isn't just getting into water: it is taking upon yourself the name of Christ, promising to keep His commandments, and promising to always remember Him. When you keep that promise, you are promised the companionship of the Holy Ghost. That's a fair trade.
Heavenly Father loves you and wants to help you make the choices that will help you be happy and eventually live with Him again. I love and miss you all! Hope everything is going well. :)
