The Greatest Blessings

"I urge all who have not yet received these greatest of all blessings within the walls of the temple to do whatever may be necessary to qualify to receive them. To those who have received these blessings, I invite you to prepare yourselves to savor again the experience of being within the sacred premises of the holy temples of God and have the visions of life eternal open again to your hearts, minds, and souls."

James E. Faust, "Eternity Lies before Us," Ensign, May 1997, 20


Friday January 20, 2012, I went to the Temple to make wonderful covenants with my Heavenly Father and to receive the greatest blessings of my life so far. And it was wonderful. I feel so much love, happiness, and just everything good. I am so excited to go back.

I could go on and on, but I won't. It is sufficient for me to say that the Temple is the greatest place on this earth. I love it so much. I know that God loves us and wants to bless us more than we even can comprehend. I know that obedience brings great blessings.

I am so happy.
