"You're never lost if you can see the Temple"

Tonight was our qtrly Enrichment Night for Relief Society. Our Presidency and Enrichment Night leaders and committee planned such a great time for us. They sent all the sisters the invite you see on the left here in the Mail, which always makes you feel like something really amazing is in store! And it did not disappoint!

We had a nice dinner and then the program started. We had a beautiful duet by two sisters in our Ward about the Temple and how it is a place of faith, and prayer, and learning. It was beautiful. Then we had 3 sisters share their different experiences about the Temple. One sister who works with her husband in the Temple every week. One sister who just got sealed to her husband recently, and one sister whose husband is not a member but told us what it meant to her to be able to go and get those Temple blessings! All very touching testimonies!

The next section, we all were able to make these beautiful temple pictures with silver leafing! I made one of the Dallas Temple for my parents as this is the Temple that they have been Temple workers at and I know that even though this is not the temple they were married in, the Dallas Temple is special to them! It was a joint Mother's Day and Father's Day gift. I am going to make a Salt Lake Temple one for Allison for one of her Wedding Shower gifts. I can't wait to see how that turns out!


The last part of our evening was a lesson on making our homes Sacred places like the temple! It was very well done and beautifully presented. It reminded us what we need to be focusing on in our homes! Then we ended up with cake and punch. We really were treated to a special night!

Thanks for posting such a great reflection of the evening. It was fantastic and I am so grateful that we were all able to come together and enjoy the time together.

BTW - your picture looks GREAT on the wall! AND... I'm glad that Kinko's reprinted your other picture and that it turned out correctly! Can't wait to see it.
