Temple Blessings


Thursday April 26, 2012

This morning I went to the temple with my friend. I was nervous because it’s the first time I’ve gone since I started wearing the wig. I decided to do initiatory work. They gave me my temple clothes to change into and I asked for a turban as well. I was so nervous wearing the turban and putting my wig in the locker. I just felt  . . . so  . . . different. I said a little prayer as I left the locker room. 

As I went to sit next to my friend, she gave me a big reassuring smile. I just needed that little bit of encouragement to feel all right with the new me. The promises of the initiatory ordinance was so beautiful. I was excited to be able to do work for two ladies from Ecuador. I couldn’t help, but think of Andrea serving in the orphanage right now. I was so glad I was able to attend the temple today to feel the sweet peace that comes from being in that sacred place.

Tonight, Lincoln & I attended a wedding reception and then went over to see the second half of Lexy’s soccer game. The girls won 6-0. It was very exciting! I love cheering for the team and being a part of it with Lexy.
