temple endowments.

We are purple matchers! 

On February 22 (exactly one month after receiving my mission call) I received my temple endowments.  During this day where I made sacred covenants with the Lord I felt my testimony strengthen in a way that was more dramatic than any spiritual experience I had previously had. The temple truly is the house of the Lord. The temple isn't weird, it's wonderful. I have never felt so close to my Savior than I did on this day. Throughout the process of preparing for a mission, this has so far been my favorite part (including opening my call, so this is a big deal). The temple is a wonderful, wonderful place.
