I love the temple!

I received my endowments on the 9th in the Bountiful temple. What a beautiful experience! I really had no idea what to expect and temple prep didn't really prep me for what was going to happen. Everyone I talked to about it always told me the same thing. "Don't think to much about it. Don't let it overwhelm you. Just relax and feel the spirit." I must've subconciously taken their advice to heart though because I felt really relaxed and my mind was clear. I definitely felt the spirit as well but that's a given. I also learned A LOT but know that I have so much more to learn through-out my life about God's plan for us.
It was so nice to have my best friend, Natalie, there with me as my escort and as soon as we walked in, the temple workers were there waiting for me and they all seemed to know my name and were so happy to be with me that day. I loved it!
After the session, my friend, Heather and her mom took some pictures of me and Bryant in our whites outside with the temple in the background then we went back in to the atrium and took a few more pictures with all of us. I'm really glad that they were there for me and willing to take pictures so I could always remember that day. I can't wait to do another session. Bryant and I are planning on doing one on our honeymoon in one of the temples in Hawaii :).
