My favorite part of Elder Bednar’s talk was “These scriptures help us understand that the process of taking upon ourselves the name of Jesus Christ that is commenced in the waters of baptism is continued and enlarged in the house of the Lord. As we stand in the waters of baptism, we look to the temple. As we partake of the sacrament, we look to the temple. We pledge to always remember the Savior and to keep His commandments as preparation to participate in the sacred ordinances of the temple and receive the highest blessings available through the name and by the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ. Thus, in the ordinances of the holy temple we more completely and fully take upon us the name of Jesus Christ.” I love this. The gospel is always aimed toward the temple and eternal families. I love that he ended with an invitation to go to the temple and get all the ordinances that you are ready for and if you already have them to go to the temple often.
I love to go to the temple! While I am in Rexburg and have a temple so close, I have tried to go every week and have managed most of the time. I found that the more I go the more I can’t wait to go back. I found that the temple was the reward for working so hard to push through a hard week and the piles of homework. I have grown to love the spirit that is there. I have found a peace and strength in the temple I never thought possible. I look forward to the next step in the temple ordinances: Temple Marriage. I cannot wait to find my eternal companion and starting our eternal family.
