...to the temple!!!! So in all of the wild traveling we have been doing since my sister came to visit our last trip was up to London to the temple. It was so wonderful. I haven't been to the temple in 6 months, which is the longest I have EVER gone without going to the temple. When I walked in the doors and handed the worker my recommend I just started crying. These last 6 months have been so emotionally taxing and it was SO wonderful to have that just slide right off as you walk into the temple. Oh, it was wonderful! We had all sorts of temple miracles too. First of all, Emily Lara was super clingy all week and I wasn't sure she'd stay with anyone other than Mike so when he had to work I wasn't sure I'd get to do a session after all. We arrived late and so I had to leave to catch the 5 pm session almost immediately after we arrived. I wasn't optimistic, but as soon as we set down our bags I said to Emily Lara, "You know what, sweetie? Mommy's going to go to the bathroom and then..." She cut me off with, "You get to play with Aunt Betsy! Yeah!" And so I just dashed out the door to the temple and she stayed happily with Aunt Betsy. Then the other miracle was that I was able to be in the prayer circle. I haven't in a long while because it is hard to keep my arm raised for so long...but it was a small session and we all had to go up in order for it to be a circle...I ended up next to an exceedingly short man so I was actually able to do it. I was so happy!
Anyhow, it was wonderful. And it made me want to do a temple mission when DH and I are seniors
