The best place in the world!

HEATHER
Can I just say how incredible it is that we have so many temples here so close to where we live?
Walking or driving...
out in the night...
seeing their glowing spires reaching into the sky...
They are so beautiful!

Just seeing them reminds me what we are here for, and that we are daughters and sons of Heavenly Father. It helps me to choose the right and strive to be a better person everyday. Being inside of the temple though? THAT is the strenthenging experience.

Something everyone says about their temple experience is how calm they felt, how peaceful it was inside. This is a place where your mind and heart can rest. A place where we are all equal, dressed in white. A place where we can feel the Spirit. Though we all have different ways of feeling it, the Spirit comes strongly when we are serving in the House of the Lord.

So, let's all try a little harder to attend the temple more often--to feel our Savior's love.


COME UP TO THE MOUNTAIN!

We need to be a generation that frequently attends the temples surrounding us.

They don't cost to enter and with times like these, it's good to have a free activity that is so wonderful!

Some people do not have a temple recommend. But, just sitting there on the temple grounds, away from the world, is a tremendous relief to a sore heart. You can feel His love, just sitting there, looking at all the beautiful things our Father in Heaven has made for us.

I know the temple is the House of the Lord.

It's the best place in the world to be!

    That's so true! We need to remember what temples are for and why they need to be a part of our lives. Each really is a house of the Lord.

    What you said at the beginning, about seeing the temples out there every night, made me realize I'm not alone; I'm not the only one who looks out at the temple to remember what I should be doing. The temples kind of unite us together in the Spirit of God, and it's just amazing to me to think that there are so many other youth out there striving to do their best. Thanks for everything said!
