Ogden Temple

We had the wonderful opportunity to sit at the church and and be a part of the rededication of the Ogden Temple.  Cooper was able to attend this event with Bryce and I and it was a neat experience for all of us. Our stake was able to participate in many activities based around this event.  The youth participated in a Youth Cultural Activity for the prophet.

In mid September, we were able to go as a family to tour the inside of the Temple. I invited a few neighbors, but they were both wary about it, so we just went as a family.  It is such a beautiful place with such a calming and peaceful Spirit about it. 

Cooper loved seeing the baptismal fonts and expressed his excitement for turning twelve and getting to do baptisms for the dead. It made me realize that it won't be long before he is participating in these wonderful ordinances in the temple.  I am so thankful for my "forever family" and I'm thankful that Heavenly Father has a plan for us and for those who have come before us.  I am thankful for the temples here on Earth, for the refuge and peace one can find inside the Lords House.
