Tender Mercies

I love, love, love the temple!

I spent this evening doing baptisms for the dead. As I was sitting there after being confirmed and waiting to be baptized, I watched a family get ready to perform baptisms for some relatives. It was an older couple and what seemed to be their 3 sons and their sons' wives. They were so happy! And you could just see in the faces of the parents how happy they were to be all together. It was one of the sweetest sights. I want that! Someday, I want to go to the temple with my husband and look down the row and see all our children and their spouses with smiles on their faces. No empty seats!
It was perfect. The gospel is perfect. The atonement is perfect. And I love it so much!

When I stepped outside the temple, I was blown away by this sunset. What a testament of Heavenly Father's love for us and his tender mercies. He made that sunset just for me!
