The Temple


Yesterday we had the opportunity to go to the Draper Temple open house with the boys. We had a good time. Earlier that day I asked Levi if he wanted to go to Heavenly Father's house. His eyes got really big and he whispered "yeah" Then I asked if he knew the name of Heavenly Father's house. He continued to stare at me until I told him it was the temple.
For the remainder of the day he would walk up to people and say "Levi go Temple, Hevly Fadders howse". He was soooo excited to go. While in the Temple he held Rick's hand and I carried Jace in my front pack. Both boys were in awe. The most memorable moment was when we walked into the celestial room and both boys looked up with wide eyes and jaws dropped in awe. I about cried, you could tell that they felt the spirit and that they remembered their heavenly home. What an awesome experience to share with my boys and husband.
Two minutes later Levi discovered that he could make an echo sound...we left quickly. He heard another kid make a sound and realized the echoing possibilities.
All in all a very rewarding outing.
