Manti Temple

I went to the Manti Temple and it was beautiful. The trip was wonderful with the snowy mountain caps. I baptized Indian names and it was seriously one of my favorite temple trips. This is why I love the gospel. The temple. The temple is an incredible place where I can think clearly.

And the Manti temple is so cool. I loved being there as it is one of the earliest temples. I was doubting whether or not to get up because we left early in the morning, but it was worth it.I met people in my ward that I didn't know very well, ate delicious food and got to explore a new temple.

I love exploring new temples. Every temple is built so differently based on the location and different aspects of the location. I decided to make a list of the temples that I have been to:

Sacramento Temple
Laie, Hawaii Temple
Palmyra Temple
Oakland Temple
Provo Temple
Manti Temple
Salt Lake City Temple
Mount Timpangos Temple
Logan Temple
Rexburg Temple
Idaho Falls Temple
Orlando Florida Temple
Nauvoo Temple
Oquirrh Mountain Utah
Seattle, Washington
Vernal, Utah
Washington, D.C
St. George, UT
Cardston, Alberta
Boston Temple
San Diego Temple
Independence, Far West

Not all of these have I done ordinances in, but I have been on their grounds. I hope I can go to plenty more temples in my lifetime!

    You haven't been to the Philadelphia temple because it hasn't been built yet. But you have also gone to the Seattle temple, St. George temple and of course, the Cardston Alberta temple.

    You've been to the San Diego temple. Do you remember our trip with the Van Hoff's to San Diego and Mexico? We stayed at the Residence Inn near the temple and left all 8 kids there for the parents to go out to a nice ocean side dinner. You've been to the Independence, Far West, and Adam-Ondi-Ahman temple sites also. No temples there yet but you've walked where the temples will be.

Intangible Things

Last night I was thinking about how Disney calls merchandise "tangible memories". I thought it was stupid how they changed the name, but then It made me think about the tangible and intangible things in our lives. There are so many tangible things that we give value to. That one Steve Madden purse I fell in love with has a lot of value to me. Why? Because it is pretty. :) My cell phone has value to me because that is how I keep in contact with my friends and family. I could go on and on about the tangible things I love to have, but the point of this blog is to talk about the intangible things we have.  I think that the value of the intangible things in our lives is much greater than the tangible. The intangible include: love, memories, pain, and joy. These things are hard to measure; we can't hold them in our hand. We can't say I have two ounces of love and one inch of pain. There is no measurement for love. I remember when I was younger reading the book about how m...

Learning to Let Go

Yes, that is my lesson that I have been learning the last couple of months. Update on my life: I postponed my mission. I feel really good about my decision. I was planning on leaving to the MTC on July 31st. The best way to explain my decision is that life changes and curve balls are thrown at you. It was a very confusing time of my life as I was deciding whether or not to postpone my mission, but I made sure that I was making the right decision. I want to go back to school and continue my "career" or pathway to a career. I want to be a social worker and feel like I can serve God with my career. So, I am staying home. I have a testimony of the church and I respect all the missionaires serving right now. If I was 19, I would have a different outlook as a missionary. At this time, I feel like I should be spending my time in other areas of my life. And it is important to realize that sisters are not commanded to serve a full time mission. Member missionary work is important ...

Recent Changes

So, I haven't written in here for a long time. I thought I might write about recent events in my life. My winter break was fantastic and really long. I am not used to having a month long break so I didn't know what to do with myself. The first part of my break, right after finals, I spent way too much time watching Netflix. I would just lay there in my pajamas and enjoy doing nothing. When you are really busy, it is nice to do nothing at some point. After getting bored of doing nothing, my brother came home for Christmas time. We had lots of family time just talking, playing games and catching up. I experienced one of the most beautiful days in San Francisco. We went hiking in Marine County and looked over all the bay. It was absolutely stunning and brought a lot of new perspective. I love being outdoors because the perspective from nature reminds me of God's love for us. I had a friend from BYU visit for New Years Eve week. I have told her all about my hometown and ...
