Endowments!!!

Yesterday morning I had the opportunity to go to the Dallas temple and take out my endowment! I was extra blessed that I was able to be there with my parents, my brother Chad, his wife Lyndsay (with the baby), my great aunt Yuri and my grandma (who is a temple worker). It was nice to be able to have family there with me...

There is not a whole lot of information about endowments, not because they are secret, but rather because they are sacred. I feel very blessed that I have lived my life in a way that has made me worthy of this sacred blessing. 

I know that the more I attend the temple, the more fully I will understand the blessings that will come with my endowment. Have I mentioned lately that I love the temple :)

Temple Time

I was so lucky and got to spend last week with Jennae Emi! I love my baby sis! During her 7 day stay in Provo we had the opportunity to visit 3 temples: Oquirrh Mountain, Provo and Salt Lake City.

Because the Oquirrh Mountain Temple has not been dedicated yet, we were able to go inside during it's open house and see all the beautiful rooms. Of course my favorite was the sealing room. One of the greatest blessings the gospel brings to the earth is the opportunity for families to be sealed together for time and all eternity, meaning that marriages and families don't end with death. I get to be with Emi Bemi fooooorrreeeevvveeerrrr!!!! Think about that Jennae :)



There isn't a temple in my mission area, so I am not exactly sure how that is going to work. I can't go 18 months without a temple! The closest one to me once I leave the MTC (Missionary Training Center) is in Campinas, which to be honest with you, I don't know how far away that is from Goiania (I am having a hard time finding a map of all the Brazil missions). But I will be learning Portuguese in the Sao Paulo MTC for 2 months, and they have a beautiful temple nearby. There are currently 129 temples in operation around the world, so it's only a matter of time!
