Payson Temple

What a wonderful experience!! Yesterday I went through the temple for the first time. It was really beautiful. I was super overwhelmed with love, at the support I had. Family from both sides came as well as my friends. I met Mom early at 4 and she was my escort. I feel so blessed that she is my mom. She is beautiful. The whole experience was amazing. They did warn me I would be confused a little bit, which I am. I just can't wait to go back again. Some thoughts: I can't wait to see those in heaven again. My sister M, was so sweet and let me take my Grandma B's leaf necklace inside with me. I kept it in my pocket and held on to it sometimes. I remembered Aunt S. Boy, I can't wait to see them again.
After the temple we went to Zupa's Cafe and we had dinner. When it was time to go, I didn't want to say goodbye. It was such an amazing day. On the way home, we stopped by Z's and he showed us his new house. I hope I never forget this day. (I do have more family pictures, but friend pictures are the only ones I have personally right now. So more pictures to come. They were sweet and stayed with me until Mom came to take me in)
The Lord loves us very much. He knows us and understands us. He hears our prayers. He is merciful. He gave us this gospel and His Son so that we could make it back to live with Him again. He blesses us every day. He gave us people in our lives like family and friends to help us through life. He knows who we need. Families can be together forever. We will see our loved ones again. The Lord will NEVER abandon us. He guides us through the Holy Ghost and his prophets. Temples are His house. They are beautiful and each is unique. We are His children. He sacrificed His Son, Jesus Christ, so that we can be better through His son's example. Are we not blessed? We are extremely blessed.
