Olivia has been praying all week for us to go to the temple as a family. It has been such a tender experience for me as a mother to hear her sweet, righteous desires. I told her we'd go Sunday, and she continued to pray that it would "come soon". After Sunday naps, we drove over - how grateful I am that we live so close. As we drove she sang the Primary song, "I Love to See the Temple" over and over again along with our Primary Music CD. Talk about absolutely melting our hearts. We walked around the temple, and Livi kept calling it "my temple" and "look at my temple Mommy!" We talked about how we can feel Heavenly Father's love while there and how it is the Lord's house. Her favorite part is going up to the front doors. I had to laugh though that I used the example of how we have to show our Costco card to get into Costco to teach her about how we must show a
temple recommend to enter the temple. Will simply loved being outdoors and in the breeze. It was a beautiful evening, just before sunset, and a nice way to end the Sabbath.
