Transfer 8: Week 4: Cover zone-Beehive House

Hello!

How is it going? There is Sun here, so life is pretty good, albeit my fair skin is not a fan of long-term exposure to the sun... but I'm sure it will adjust after a couple of weeks (or I'll just be lobster red and match my hair for the rest of the summer) We've had an increase of guests on Temple Square, and there have been so many prepared people.... I love them all so much, there was the cutest old man around earlier today and he is from North Carolina and is a music teacher who is so excited to see everything tomorrow night. And there was another lady from Washington who was excited about the temple, and seeing the temple model, it was good.

There is also a new exciting addition to Temple Square, "God's Plan for His Family". It's a cute 20 minute movie where you can watch a family work and grow together. Hopefully they put it out on video eventually, but if not definitely go and see it. We've already had several people refer to learn more about how their family can be forever as well. One man was from New York and he had a sister who loved Woody, just like my sister, he and his friend were missing their friend's wedding because of their trip, but they were excited to understand why their friend chose to get married where they couldn't see. And there have been many more miracles as well. Oddly enough, as much as society tries to take apart the family people still recognize (whether they know why or not) that families are so important to grow and develop and be the best that we can be.

Imagine if you never saw your family again... that would be so sad. But for centuries people have thought that it is until death do you part... that's why Joseph Smith was so excited to hear that we could see our families again, because he had not only lost his brother Alvin when he was younger, but because he had lost many children along the way and wanted to be able to teach them and love them still. I am grateful for a family that I know that I'll see after this life and know them as my family. That is why God restored temples, so that we could authoritatively say "for time and all eternity"

Have a wonderful day!
