Dedication

I have never had the opportunity to be at an actual Temple Dedication. We were able to go to our Stake Center and watch as the prophet dedicated the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. It was so neat to listen to the dedication, because we have watched the process of it being built. Rylan and Alana have shown a special interest in it. They have also watched as the temple has been erected, talked about temples in primary and as a family we were able to tour the temple at the open house before the dedication. Rylan was disappointed that he would not be able to go through it again for a few years. What I got out of the dedication meeting was that we need to be more diligent in going to the temple, because we have so many temples in such a short radius. There were stories told of the dedication that people had to the temple. Some would save their whole life to go and be sealed to their families, or take days and days just to go and spend the day there. Hearing these stories has made me realize that I need to be more dedicated to going to the temple and partake of the blessings that come from going. It's not always easy to go to the temple (in fact sometimes it can just be difficult) but here is to DEDICATION on temple attendance!!!

First Talk

Today Rylan gave his first talk in Primary. He did such a great job! He was really excited to give it. (I think he mostly wanted to talk into the microphone.) He talked about Temples. Our family night for this week we went to Temple Square and talked about Temples as a family. The kids played and enjoyed being outside and having some space to run around. We all had a nice time doing that and we were so proud of Rylan doing such a great job talking in Primary!
