My brother’s family was sealed yesterday!

It was awesome! There was crying and smiles and it was a really touching event. I was upset I missed the endowment session due to a bad car accident on I-15, but my cousin and his wife waited for us we all did sealings and were able to surprise my family when they emerged. That was fun!

It was a very emotional day and it’s hard to put some feelings into words. There was something about having our whole family (except the boy) in that sealing room. My dad being sick made it more significant for me. I had such a greater appreciation for our Savior and for the resurrection and why we do what we do. My testimony really grew. I really appreciate that it was kept small and sacred. I know it was easier on my dad and it helped keep a good spirit throughout the day. I got a lot more out of it than I usually do with marriages/sealings.

My little niece was perfect. She looked absolutely adorable and was so well behaved! yes! A well behaved 4 year old in the temple. I wish I could have taken a picture of her face when the officiator was sealing them. She looked just like the boy! He gets the same expression sometimes. I keep trying to upload a picture of her, but it isn’t working. Meanwhile, this is cute.
