I Love to See the Temple

This past Friday was my last day of work.  Although, I only worked 2 1/2 hours.  I asked to get off at 1:30 so that Mom, Dad and I could go to the temple.  We wanted to go, together, before I go back to school.  I got off work at 1:30, got home at about 2, and we left home by about 2:30.  We got there, and we were the first ones! We were early and the temple workers didn't even have everything ready yet! So we sat in the waiting room and they came to get us when things were ready.  While we were there, it was just us, and then 1 other lady with her 3 or 4 kids.  Dad baptized Mom and then she got out, sat on the stool and they confirmed her, then Dad did the same thing for me.  Then one of the temple workers baptized Dad.
As I was sitting there, watching Mom be baptized, I was trying to really focus on what was really happening.  I watched Mom go under and come back up, and each time that Dad said a new name, it was almost like Mom changed, and looked like a new person.  It was amazing.   She would go from her hair color, to a brunette, and then to a red head.  And from her hair length, to long hair, and back to short, or whatever.
That has never happened to me before.  But it was amazing.  It was such a fun time at the temple, and I'm excited to go back to Rexburg where we have a temple at the top of our hill :)
