Temples are the Beginning of the Plan of Salvation

Hello! Helloo! Helloo! HELLOOOO! *imagine a harmonizing quartet singing that. It's great!*

I am doing okay - a little tired, but doing well.

I got to go to Estes Park today. SOOOOOOOOO PRETTY! And such a tourist town. ;D (Granny, you would like it. They have lots of cute little shops and suchness.) Anyways, we didn't get to do a whole lot up there because most of the town is still closed for the season, but we did get to watch a man named Cory blow glass. That was AWESOME! We also got to go to the Stanley Hotel and poke around a bit. The hotel reminds me a little bit of the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, MI. The Stanley hotel is unique because it was used in the movie The Shinning based on Stephen Kings novel. (I don't recommend it!!!) And also the hotel is haunted. I still think the Grand Hotel is prettier though.

Anyways, this week has been kind of slow. Not much teaching going on. Though, we're trying! We did do a lot of Service. A less active sister in the ward moved to an apartment on the first floor, so we went over a couple of times this week to help her pack and start moving things into the new apartment. That was a lot of fun. I got to help take apart and put back together the entire pantry as we moved it from one floor to the other. I felt very proud.

Sunday, we had members of the Denver Temple Presidency come to church to speak to us. It was really good. President and Sister Ludwig are their names.
Sister Ludwig talked about why it's important that we keep the Temple as the focus for our families especially out youth. She shared a list of things to help us do just that:

1) Have a Picture of the Temple in every room of the house.

2) Make Family Prayer and Scripture Study and Family Home Evening a Priority. And have the temple as a frequent topic of conversation.

3) Pray for your children by name that they will remain pure and worthy to attend the temple.

4) Make frequent visits to the Temple.

5) Do Family History Work with your family.

6) LOVE THE TEMPLE!

Brother Ludwig talked about the importance of being a worthy temple recommend holder. It was really neat. I hope that everyone has the goal to have a CURRENT temple recommend and be WORTHY of it. I know that is one of my goals. 
I LOVE THE TEMPLE SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH! 

Yep! So that kind of covers the basics of the week. I'm not sure what more to share with you.

Love you all!
