The Temple with Friends

Since there is an LDS temple very close to me, I try to go there every week, or at the very least every other week. Usually, I've gone in the afternoons after work or class, walking about a mile to and from the temple. I've always enjoyed these private walks.

But today I went to the temple with a group of good friends. Someone searched out names of their ancestors, and they brought those names to the temple so we could be baptized there in behalf of those ancestors. Each time I go to the temple, I feel at peace. Whether I'm there to ponder about a question or an issue or not, I feel I am in a very good place. I enjoyed going to the temple with friends. We didn't chat very much while we were in the temple (we went to a candy and soda place afterwards for that), but the camaraderie, the support, and the opportunity to serve together made for an enjoyable and fulfilling evening.

I am always grateful to go to the temple, and today I am grateful I went with good friends.
