Eternal Family


Today we were sealed in the temple as an eternal family. It was very special. Elder Kakutchi of the quorm of the seventy sealed us. He spoke to us for a good 15 minutes before hand. His presence and the spirit in the room were incredible. The whole experience was wonderful. To be able to be there to see my parents being selaed to eachother was incredible. Most children aren't able to be there to see their parents make that covenant to eachother to love and honor and be eternal companions. After they were sealed- we were sealed to our parents. We cried and cried. It was so special to know the covenant we were making. To know that our family is now eternally together. It was a very unique experience. I know that temple work is very important and sacred. I am so happy to have a family who is united in one cause. Christ is our Savior. He loves us, and shows us daily of his love for us.

We are so happy for your family. I would have loved to have been there. About 2 weeks ago at our ward temple trip, your mom told me that this was going to happen. I could tell that she was so excited. She has been waiting for this for a long time. I am so glad that now the waiting is over!
