Temple Attendance

It's not very often that Mark and I have an opportunity to attend the temple but this past weekend we made the two hour trek to the Tri-Cities to do some sealings together.  Living in La Grande means that we are part of the Boise Temple district but we always go to the Columbia River Washington temple because it's a little closer.  Plus, my sister Hollie lives there and she is an excellent baby sitter!  We had a few names that needed to be have their sealings completed and it was a special experience to kneel across the altar and hear our family names.  I'd like to think that they were jumping for joy on the "other side" and excitedly accepting that their ordinance has been taken care of.

Interestingly enough, we saw several couples from our ward who also decided to attend at the same time we did.  What a treat!  Every time we go I feel peaceful, rejuvinated, and inspired.  It will probably be another two or three months until we can get there again but for now, I can remember what a great day it was and mark the calendar for our next trip!
