So this week we were told that we would be going to the temple and so I was excitedly studying about the temple to teach our recent convert Carol. And wow if this talk was in english I would definitely try to send it to you all, but anyways I just felt the spirit so strong while reading the Ensign/Liahona about the temple that really my testimony was strengthened in the sacredness of temples. I sure was excited to go and visit but now we were told that it will be in about a month, but Im really grateful that I thought that we would be going to the temple because I had time to be able to read and ponder about the temple. Really I just really enjoyed it. The temple is a sacred place that is literally the house of the Lord where we can go to be far from the things of the world and where we can received responses for our prayers and feel the Lord very close to us. I am so grateful to be able to be recognizing the miracle of having a temple so close to our home, it is a great privelege and also a great responsibility to be able to visit the temple to strengthen our faith and give nourishment for our spirits while being in a place so sacred to be able to be feeling the presence of God with us, and to also be able to help other people make sacred covenants to be able to be sealed as families and to be able to do baptisms.
I remember always loving and appreciating the times we were able to visit the temple as a youth group because I always felt joy fill my heart as I was able to help others through being baptized and confirmed for them. Especially in confirmations I could honestly feel that the people I was doing the work for were rejoicing because I felt their happiness.
Temple work is Absolutely a form of missionary work,
Also these weeks we are doing our best to help families, that are less active in which not all people are members. The things I love about this is that I feel like this is a purpose and a great service we can do throughout our lives to help people be strengthened by the gospel. Something that has brought great joy in my mission is seeing people be able to complete their families. I am so grateful for our family and the blessings we have because of the gospel. It is so clear to me how much we need the gospel, as night and day, because without the Gospel our family wouldnt have the strength From God that we need to be protected against the temptations of the world. I am so grateful for the gospel and the many blessings I have received in my life.
I sure love you all, and Im loving your letters :)
Love, Sister Kimball
