We went to the Temple Lights this Monday for FHE and really enjoyed it. For one reason or another we didn't get to go last year and I really missed it. It had been raining all day long and we weren't sure if we would be able to go again, but it cleared up and was a perfect night. Because of the rain there were a lot less people and that was nice also.
The kids really felt the spirit of being at the Temple. They asked to go in the Visitors Center and we went to a walk through video message about Heavenly Father's plan for us. It was great to see my kiddos feel the spirit, they were so quiet and attentive. They loved moving from room to room watching each video. Even little Embry felt the spirit, we know cause she kept hugging and kissing her daddy, who was holding her. She would pull his face to hers and give him a huge hug or a big kiss. We were about to leave but the kids couldn't leave without listening to the message from Christ. Every time we are in the Visitors Center they are drawn to his statue. I am grateful for a place that we can go that helps us as parents teach our children the things that are important. What a blessing in our lives to have the Temple!
