When we moved to Las Vegas I truly felt that we were led to the apartment complex we moved too. Although it was somewhat getto, I know we were meant to be there, in that ward and to meet our friend Amanda. Amanda is a year older then us and lived in the same complex so we were her fellow shippers as she joined the church, and now we are good friends. October 27 was her 1st year anniversary of her baptism and becoming a member of the LDS Church. Today she went to the temple for the first time and was kind enough to invite us. I am grateful she did cause it was a nice visit to the temple. Scott stayed home with the baby as I attended the session and then showed up afterwards. I love the temple and the spirit that roams through out the walls of God's holy house. I truly am grateful to have the knowledge that I am blessed with to know and to understand God's teaching and to know that he lives. I know that he lives and loves us. That we have a loving Heavenly Father and his son, our Savior, our brother Jesus Christ. I know that they are two separate beings and they have bodies as you and I do. I know that they have a plan and a purpose for us to return to their presence and live with them for all eternity. I love the feeling you receive as you walk through out the temple, yet the spirit the dwells in the celestral room is amazing. I love to just find a comfy spot and thank my Heavenly Father for allowing me and giving me the privilege to be in such a holy place, to feel such love and peace and be reassured that I am not alone and what I know to be true is. Today being the first time back since I had Ellie I had to take a moment and thank him for such a wonderful sweet spirit in my life for putting that trust in my hands to raise his daughter and thanking him for bringing her safely to me. Not sure what over came me or made me tell him, but I informed God that I am grateful for Ellie and that I am sorry for putting a number on the amount of kids I desire and that I will take whom ever he has prepared for our family. Lately I have been feeling that 4 is not the magic number for my family. I somewhat feel at times that God has prepared me and has given me the talent of love and patient to raise a large family, so whether that is 4,6,8,...I am not sure, but I am positive that God loves me and has prepared a way for me to accomplish all that is in store for me and I am grateful for that. I've always wished I had a performing talent, but all in all I wouldn't trade my talent of love and caring for children for anything in the world!
