Today was my temple day this week. One of my favorite things about Utah is all of the temples. Since coming up here my love for the temple has grown. I set aside time weekly to go and do baptisms and as I serve those who have passed before me it provides me with incredible blessings. My weeks run smoother, and my tasks don't seem as hard when I take time to visit the Lord's house. I feel closer to those I knew who are now on the other side, I feel like I am providing them people to teach or helping complete the missionary work they are doing.
When I went home for a visit in at the end of April I was able to go to the Mesa temple and do baptisms while my mom went in and did a session, I was also able to go through the Gila Valley Open House.
All temples are closed twice a year for cleaning so when the Provo temple closed for 5 weeks I decided I was going to visit all of the temples between Provo and Salt Lake, I ended this venture by bringing family names and doing baptisms with my roommates in the Salt Lake Temple.
From the end of April to the end of August I was able to go in 8 different temples, my roommates and I also went to the Manti Temple Pageant although we did not have enough time to go and do baptisms.
