We went to the Temple!

As you already know, I am Mormon. My religion is one of the most important things in my life and I love sharing it with anyone who is willing to listen. This includes my nonmember family members, whether they like it or not they have to hear about how important this is to me. One of the biggest parts of being a Mormon is going to visit the Temple. For the longest time the closest one was several hours away so we didn't get to visit it. However, they just finished building one not too far from us and because it was just built we were able to go to an open house-that means nonmembers like my family can go in! We were able to go on a tour of the entire Temple and it was honestly one of the most amazing moments of my life. It's kind of hard to explain, but when I walked in I immediately felt overwhelmed with a warm comforting feeling. I am so glad we finally got to go, I think my nonmember family were even touched by it, maybe that will help encourage them to seek the truth. I am beyond excited to continue to go to the temple, hopefully with a few more members of my family! Hopefully however, the man standing outside the Temple bashing our faith isn't there. It isn't so much that he has a different opinion, that doesn't bother me at all, it's the fact he had all his information wrong. I think there were only two things in his paper that were actually right and it makes me sad that he thinks it's okay to spread lies about our faith. I'm hoping someone has the time to talk to him and tell him the truth, I would have done it but he wasn't standing there when I got back from eating my lunch. Anyway, I am very glad we went and can't wait till we go back. If you want to go visit, even if you're not a member you can go the next few weeks for their open houses! I definitely suggest doing it.
