Mother's day

Today was mother's day. It was a good, busy day.
I woke up this morning and found Samantha in the kitchen attempting to make pancakes. I helped her and we had pancakes for breakfast.

I went to church. The Sunday school lesson was about the temple and I enjoyed it very much. As the South African Temple was discussed, I could not help thinking about my grandfather and how he went thought the temple before it was dedicated and died just after that.

It was a wonderful experience for him to go thought he temple. He was so ill that he could not walk and had to be taken in a wheel chair, but he wanted to go. When he got to the celestial room he was over awed and said this is so beautiful.

I did not get to see the temple before it was dedicated. I felt a little disappointed, but I made a promise to myself that I would go to the temple and I would get a temple recommend.
I taught the young wommen lesson today. The lesson was also about the temple - more specifically temple marriage. It was a difficult lesson for me to teach, but it went well and I felt the spirit as I taught the lesson. I felt that the girls where touched by the things that where said.

My Blog

Over the past weeks as I have posted things on My blog I have come to know more about myself and who I am. I am exploring aspects of myself that I have not for a very long time. Even if no one looks at this blog this is a good enough reason for me to do this.

It is also a little like keeping a journal, but diffent because you are just a little more careful what you record because others might see what you have written.

Most of all I have enjoyed the time spent and rediscovered things about myself I have forgoten.

This has also made me aware of things I am sensitive about and did not know i was senstive about, like my testimony, the things I believe and feelings.
