Embarking to the Temple

Last Saturday Afton, Khora and I walked 4.6 miles to the Payson temple. Our stake put it all together including little rest stops along the way with snacks and spiritual thoughts about the importance and necessity of the temple. The girls did a wonderful job. There was singing along the way.  It helps when you have friends to talk to and keep you motivated and to carry you if you need it. (Khora got a few piggy back rides.) When we arrived at the temple the temple President and Matron spoke to us at the church next door. He said that we go to the temple to gain the power we need in our lives and to learn about God. He also said that repentance is a daily action that brings us closer to God and helps us to be worthy of the power and revelation we can receive there.  

 Later that night we went to the R.S. birthday dinner/program with our stake then viewed the General Women's conference. Of course we got ice cream at DQ after and had a fun girls night watching Princess Diaries 2.  It was a such a great day together with my girls.
