I have had some issues with a lady in our ward the last few days and have not been all that nice. I felt like it was all her fault and was very very frustrated over the whole situation. Tonight was ward temple night and I thought I better go. I talked to Kristen last night and asked her to please call me in the afternoon today to remind me of how much I need to go because Iknew that once I got home from work today, I would be too tired to go. Low and behold, when I got home, I was in fact too tired to go to the temple. As I was on my way to pick up Rebecca from school, I checked my messages and there was one from my awesome sister telling me that I would be really upset with myself if I didn't get there. So, even though I had a ponytail in my hair and was very tired, I ran and got myself there. Halfway there I realized that I forgot my temple bag and my recommend and I almost decided to just forget it. I called Brent and he told me that I should still go and that he would meet me halfway to give my my recommend. (Brent had class tonight so he couldn't go). I got there just in time to get dressed and hurry up to the room for the session to start just a few minutes later. Even though I had a hard time staying awake during the session, afterward I felt so much better. I finally felt the spirit for the first time in a few days. I realized that I was reacting to the situation totally wrong and that I need to try harder at looking for the good in this person and being more patient. I'm so thankful for this wonderful place that we can go to when we are feeling low and need a little help in remembering how we should be treating others. I really feel so much better! Thank you thank you thank you Kristen for being an amazing sister!

You know, I never realized how easy it should have been to just go to the Temple whenever I had a chance in Mesa. Here it's different, you really have to plan a day trip for it since it's almost 2 hours away. I know that still shouldn't be a big deal, but somehow it is. I really need to be better about it and just go.
Thank you for being my amazing sister. I couldn't have picked a better one. Good job going! It gets hard some times.Love ya!
oh Crap! Did I do something wrong?!
No really though,aren't we so lucky to be so close to the temple? It really is a blessing! Glad you had a good experience. Next time will you call and tell me I have to go! I need all the help I can get!
Thanks for reminding me that I need to go too. I have much on my mind and it's silly that I didn't think to go there sooner. So thanks!!
