The Temple

In February my family did the coolest thing, ever!  We had at least one member of the family in the temple every possible day of the month.  On Sundays we would take turns going to the temple grounds and Visitors' Center.  We got to take our kids twice on Sundays, and we signed up to go ourselves every Wednesday.  We picked one Wednesday to take turns going in so that we could travel down as a family and really have some quality time there with our kids.  When I was outside with them we took a walk around the temple.  We talked about how special it is and that it is Jesus and Heavenly Father's house.  I remember a conference talk on temples a few years ago.  He (was is President Monson? Elder Holland???) said to take your children to the temple--even before they are old enough inside.  He also said to have them touch the temple and feel how special it is.  We walked up to touch the temple.  It was a cold day and the outside is made of rock, but it still seemed warm being right outside the temple walls.  Steven put his hand against it and said it felt comfortable.  I am so grateful for the precious angles that Heavenly Father sends to Earth.  They teach us so much.
