I Love to See the Temple!!

"I love to see the Temple
I'm going there someday
I'll covenant with my father
And promise to obey!"

I've been preparing myself for the last 28 years to enter the walls of the temple and have finally made the important decision to make these important and sacred covenants. I couldn't be happier about my decision and now it is overcoming the opposition that has been placed before me. It has only made me that much stronger and makes me want it that much more.

President Hinckley said, “I urge our people everywhere, with all of the persuasiveness of which I am capable, to live worthy to hold a temple recommend, to secure one and regard it as a precious asset, and to make a greater effort to go to the house of the Lord and partake of the spirit and the blessings to be had therein.”
The Lord would be pleased if every adult member would be worthy of—and carry—a current temple recommend. “Interviews … for temple recommends, with your bishop and members of your stake presidency are precious experiences. And, in a way, they could be considered meaningful ‘dress rehearsals’ for that grand colloquy when you will stand before the Great Judge.”

Good for you! I went through the temple as a single, years before getting married, and it was the best decision. You'll love it.
