last night we all went to the temple together - because clark was going through for the first time... all part of the prep to go on his mission in may. i have been asked so many times by people what we do in there, but the best explanation i have seen (and trust me, i couldn't say it nearly this well...)
"as he dedicated the cornerstone of the salt lake temple on april 6, 1853, president brigham young made this observation about the endowment: “your endowment is, to receive all those ordinances in the house of the lord, which are necessary for you, after you have departed this life, to enable you to walk back to the presence of the father, passing the angels who stand as sentinels, … and gain your eternal exaltation in spite of earth and hell.” (in journal of discourses, 2:31.)"
so in other words, we are preparing ourselves for the life to come!
here is vivienne and clark, looking happy together. it was such a lovely night and i am so glad to have been able to share it with them.
clark and his boys...
kieran, michael, doug and clarko
best place in the world... i am so lucky to have what i have, and know what i know! ♥
