We got to go to the temple 4 times this week, which was just crazy, but it was amazing to go again after it's been closed.
On Wednesday we went with Angel so that he could do Baptisms for the Dead for the first time! We ended up being there for a seriously long time, but he loved it and said that it was the best day of his life. My favorite thing about the mission is getting to go to the temple with recent converts because they always love it and they always feel peace!!
Then on Saturday we got to do Baptisms for the Dead with Noelia in the morning! She got baptized for her grandmas and an aunt, and when we left she couldn't stop crying because of how much she loved it. She said that she was praying for her ancestors while she was in the temple, and she just felt so much peace.
In the afternoon, we got to go BACK to the temple (RIP our miles) for a family sealing of someone in the ward. They are the cutest family ever, and it was one of the most spiritual moments of my mission. The parents were sealed first, which was just beautiful, and we were all teary, but then they brought in the kids, and we all lost it. They have 3 kids, and 2 of them are adorable but are crazy. They're always screaming or crying or running around, but during the whole sealing, they just sat there completely still and quiet and everyone could feel the Spirit so strongly. It was incredible.
And then today we get to go do an endowment session which I haven't done in over a year! The temple is the best place ever and getting to go so many times this transfer is the perfect way to end my mission. Seeing people participating in these ordinances and preparing to make more covenants just makes me so excited for them because it's the way that we get closer to and stay close to Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ! There's a quote by President Eyring that I love that says, "God will not abandon His relationship with those who have forged such a bond with Him. In fact, all those who have made a covenant with God have access to a special kind of love and mercy." And it's not only when we first make that covenant, but every time we honor it and remember it.
Love y'all and have the best week!
