We had the opportunity to go to the temple and do a session and some sealings. It was a wonderful experience. My dad had some family names that we were able to seal together. The spirit was so sweet and strong. I felt such gratitude for the sealing power. I also felt so happy to complete an ordinance that these families might be waiting for. What a special opportunity! I have such a strong testimony of the temple. It is a sacred, peaceful, and wonderful place. Every time I go the spirit testifies to me that it is the Lord's house, His presence is felt there and that He loves me - Valerie West. My perspective is changed once again to look forward with hope that our Heavenly Father is in control and all will be well. I cannot imagine a more fullness of joy than to return to live with my Father in Heaven and my Savior Jesus Christ and my entire family whom I love dearly.
Thank you Tiffany for taking these pictures - they turned out well!
