{The Temple Tour}

As members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints the Temple is a very special place. It is a reminder that through the Lord Jesus Christ families can be together forever.

You can imagine how excited we were when it was announced that Vancouver would get its very own temple. For our little family this meant we would be able to attend the temple more frequently, not have to drive 3 hours and wait in hour+ long boarder line ups.

fast forward to March 2009 our family braved the cold to watch the Angel Moroni being placed on the temple.

Now the time has come!

We all enjoyed the tour. Our Temple is beautiful! It was so special to bring my Children there. I hope to instill in them the desire to enter the House of the Lord and make and keep sacred covenants. Standing in the Brides room I couldn't help put picture my girls in their wedding dresses....

To protect the Temple's carpeting we had to wear these booties. To bad cause my ballet flats we so cute!;)

I am forever thankful for my membership in the Lords church. I am thankful for the personal relationship I have with my Savior.
I know he died for me, so that I can return to live with him again. I know that family relationships do not end at death. That we can be together in the eternities.

FAMILIES CAN BE TOGETHER FOREVER!
