I'm very far behind in my blogging, but I've been wanting to finish a few highlights from my parents trip in July.
The crowning moment for me was having my parents there at the temple with me when I was able to go through and receive my endowment.
I've been waiting my entire life to be able to go. And the time finally seemed right for me.
My Dad barely made it, due to heavy construction on the way to Anchorage from
Kenai. Miraculously, and very unusually, the temple session was late getting started. My Dad just barely made in time. It was a sweet example of Heavenly Father's tender mercies, as he answered our heart felt prayers that Dad could be there with us.
Brent who is always so supportive, had the kids dressed in their church clothes and waited outside with them during the session.
Bishop Ellis is one of Brent's best friends, it was a blessing that he and Jen could be their with us.
Rusty Young and Sydney
Prinz were so sweet to drive all the way out from
Kenai, so they could take care of Jen and Adelle's babies while they went through the temple with me.
I was very touched by their sweet sacrifice.
This is my
good friend Adelle who came to be with me.
I'm still looking forward with hope to the day that Brent and the kids will be able to go to the temple with me and our family will be sealed for time and all
eternity.
I'm very blessed to have him, he's been so supportive and loving. I couldn't ask for a better husband.
The kids really want to go into the temple also. They can't wait till they're big enough to go.
I remember waiting on the temple grounds in Salt Lake while my parents went to the temple. There's such a strong spirit even just sitting outside. It truly is the house of the Lord.
I have so much to be thankful for.
