When we got our call and learned a bit about our mission, one of our plans was to take our monthly temple day and attend all of the temples within the 60 mile radius (plus Logan) which are considered in our mission. With Covid, that has limited that plan somewhat but this month we scheduled two of those visits--Brigham City Temple last Friday and then Payson on this upcoming Tuesday.
Jena and I went to the Brigham City Open House years ago, but we haven't been there for a session. We met with Vonette and Gary and did sealings. This was Jena's first time to do sealings and she did great--serving as a daughter for many sealings of daughters to parents. When the session first started, the sealer asked Jena to serve as a witness. It caught me off guard and made me cry from the very beginning! What a powerful moment of acknowledgement of worth.
After finishing our names, I talked to Jena about her sealing in the Dallas Temple and how she had sat on the alter (she was 10 months old) with her hand on ours as she was sealed to us. We then looked in the mirrors and talked about standing there with everyone and talking about eternity.
