It’s been a minute since I’ve had the chance to go to the temple. The St. George temple has been shut down for almost three years for renovations and during that time all temples were shut down for awhile. This weekend my brother was going through the Cedar City temple (which is about a 45 minute drive for us) and as luck would have it my two year old was sick. I desperately wanted to go, and I knew he was going to be in good hands with my mother in law! He had been fevering but he was doing okay before I left. I was nervous to go but knew it was the right choice. Once I arrived I got a call saying he was throwing up. There were tears as I had to decide whether to hurry home or to stay and attend the temple. I was reassured that they would be just fine so I decided to stay, and I am so glad that I did. There isn’t a more peaceful feeling than being inside the temple, I truly didn’t realize just how much I missed that feeling of peace. It seems like there are always obstacles and reasons not to go, but it always works out when we do make the effort to be there!
