so yesterday was the dedication of the rexburg temple. i have never attended a dedication before and was very moved by how amazing it was! there was such a reverence in the building that we were in, and to see those men, called of God speak about the temple with such a love! i felt the Spirit so strong as we sang "the spirit of God". i also loved the counsel that we were given about temples. elder bednar told us to go to the temple often. he also said not to always go seeking for the right answers...but to go to find the right questions. i know that the temple is a place that we have to feel love, to be taught, and to escape from this world. temple work is so important. i know that we are blessed everytime that we go. all temples no matter where you are have the same teachings, the same feeling, the same goal....to help us move forward in the work of the Master.

Amen to that! Thanks for the post!
Wish I could have been there....I am sure it was amazing!
Wow, I really am jealous you got to be there--the temple sure is beautiful! I can't wait to come and see it in person.
