Two Year Anniversary!

Today is the anniversary of when I became endowed. I remember the freezing cold weather and the butterflies in my stomach, but that is overshadowed by the overwhelming calm and completeness that I felt upon entering those double doors. There is no other place on earth where I can go for absolute peace and clarity of mind. The Denver Temple is especially meaningful to me because my whole family toured it before it was dedicated and I was able to attend the dedication as well. I was just barely baptized, which made me eligible to go. I was so excited and felt so grown up as I donned my baptismal dress and skipped a day of third grade. My Mom was in the choir and was in a different room than my Dad and me. She was singing behind President Benson and he turned around and spoke to her at one point; cool, huh? While I sat in the endowment room this second time as I was making covenants with Heavenly Father, I remembered this time when I sat there beside my Dad and knew that he was with me this second time too, even when I couldn't see him. I know that the Gospel of Christ is true and that the covenants we make in His Temples are sacred. I am grateful for the blessings of the Gospel and the Temple.
