Temple Experience

I had the amazing opportunity to go through the temple for the first time on January 3rd. I had grown up singing the primary song "I Love to See the Temple" and it was so incredible to receive my own endowment. I learned so much and the presence of the Spirit was so strong.

I am so thankful to have temple worthy parents to share this experience with. Without them I would not be preparing to serve a mission. Their example and testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ has helped me gain my own testimony and has given me the desire to share it with others.

 I set a goal after Thanksgiving to read the Book of Mormon in English before I go home, so that is 6 pages a day. So I start with that everyday. And for the first 1.5 years of the mission I read the German version and it took me forever! So it is cool to kind of read it faster this time and just get more of the story. There are so many things that you can study, that you sometimes forget about the plot. So yeah right now I am reading in the beginning of 3rd Nephi. And something that stuck out to me was how much satan tries to lead us away from the path, EVEN after spiritual experiences. These people had heard the words of prophets, seen signs and stuff and then they all turn wicked. Its amazing what can happen. So just because we have a spiritual experience doesnt mean that we are clear from temptation. I mean look at Jospeh Smith, or Moses. Each of them had incredible experiences with God, and then satan came and tried to steer them away. So yeah, after I read my 6 pages, I turn to
