1st Temple Trip

This weekend was BIG for us in a spiritual way. Anthony and I had the opportunity to attend the Orlando Temple for the first time with the Whitehouse Ward Youth. We were SO lucky to stay in a gorgeous condo for the night and then in the morning it was up and at 'em pretty early... I forgot to pack Anthony pants! Away to Wal Mart we went and met up with everyone at the temple.

It was such a wonderful day and I truly felt the spirit. I look forward to going back and often. I can't wait to be Anthony's wife for eternity- for those of you reading this that are unfamiliar with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, ordinances performed in the temple can ensure that your family will be together again in heaven for all of time an eternity. It is the perfect fairy tale and we have castles but seriously, it is such a comfort knowing about the after life. We have been given this knowledge through the Plan of Salvation. Don't hesitate to ask me questions if you have any.

On Sunday, Anthony was ordained an Elder in the Melchizedek Priesthood by Brother David Arnold. This means that Anthony can bless the sick and young, baptize people, and do even MORE work at Church! Hah! Lucky him and lucky me because now I have a priesthood leader in the house the can bless our family. He truly is a great man and I am so proud of him.
