I had the wonderful opportunity to receive my endowment in the Salt Lake Temple this morning. It was a new/scary/exciting experience for me, and I'm having a hard time putting everything into words. I was so blessed to be there with all of my grandparents and immediate family who have been endowed. Cob and his parents were there, too, and that meant a lot to me. Even though certain parts of the ceremony were new, the spirit I felt was very familiar and I knew that what I learned there was good and right and true. I just wanted to document the experience with a few of my favorite temple quotes.
Gordon B. Hinckley:
“The temple is concerned with things of immortality. It is a bridge between this life and the next. All of the ordinances that take place in the house of the Lord are expressions of our belief in the immortality of the human soul."
James E. Faust:
“Each temple building is an inspiration, magnificent and beautiful in every way, but the temple building alone does not bless. The endowed blessings and divine functions—come through obedience and faithfulness to priesthood authority and covenants made."
Joseph B. Wirthlin:
“As we come unto Christ and journey to higher ground, we will desire to spend more time in His temples, because the temples represent higher ground, sacred ground."
