This sweet girl has been counting down the days (and the monthly temple trips!) until it was finally her turn to join us in the temple, and Saturday was her big day!
Our whole family headed over to the Winter Quarters Temple to join Emma for her first baptisms. Like all things Emma, she was super excited and totally cool about the whole thing. She said it felt just like home, like she'd been there before and that it was all wonderful.
The session was very full, so we jumped right in and got right to work. We were the first ones in and out, and it was sweet to pause a few times to notice the quiet and peace of the temple. I'm grateful that we get to go back again and again to notice and learn and ponder and pray, all while getting the work of our ancestors done. There were also lots of familiar faces there- the Salts joined us and the sister missionaries were there with a new member whose baptism we attended a few moths ago, and there were smiling members from at least three units in our stake there as well. It feels like heaven when we are in the temple!
We already have plans for our next four temple trips- we love the temple and when the closest one takes a minimum of five hours to attend (one hour in the temple and four hours of driving) we know we can't leave the experience to chance. We are a temple going family!
It was really bright outside! But we were all there!
