An "awe" experience

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to go through the holy and sacred temple with my future spouse, Preston, his parents, his little brother (who was going through for the first time as well because he just got his mission call to Bulgaria), and my parents.
It was such an incredible experience that is hard to describe. It definitely is a place of higher learning and a school of the Lord per say. I was so intrigued and awed at the teachings inside. What guidance and direction it gives you to live your life worthily. It makes me want to become a better person and strive to keep my covenants.
The neatest experience was to go with Preston to meet my parents in the Celestial room and hug and kiss each of them with tears in my eyes. I can't wait for that day when we will all be together as a family in His holy temple to be sealed for time and all eternity to Preston. I am so fortunate to have this gospel in my life. I gain strength to my testimony every day! I love you all!
Celestial Kingdom or bust!

Oh, I am so glad you had such a wonderful experience. The Temple is a place of peace, love and learning. The wonderful thing about it is each time you go, you take away something new. Congrats! 4 more days! :-)
