I Love The Temple

I can see that this year I am drivin to be at the Temple.  I want to go every week and feel anxious if I don't get there early in the week.  I'm not sure exactly why but I'm loving it. (I do know that I am expecting extra help and so I want to help more as well)  Today as I sat through the endowment I thought about the different films they show now.  There are three new ones and each one has the exact wording but because the actors are different and have different expressions and pause differently I am able to get more out of the session.  Thoughts come to my mind that didn't before.  The first time I saw the film that was played today I remember thinking that something bothered me, something that didn't make a difference but totally was a distraction to me.  Today I enjoyed the film so much more and wondered why I had been bothered before.  Today it didn't seem that bad. (I didn't like the floor in Heaven ☺)

When I went and visited Susan in Washington DC while she was serving a Temple mission we discussed the reason for more than one film.  It is so that we will get different things from them as they are portrayed differently. We are able to learn more and quicker.  I remember Susan asking me what film I liked better and that was when there were only two.  I can honestly say there are things in each of the three films that I really like and a few things I might not like as much as one of the other films.  I don't have a favorite.  What I do like is the feeling I get every time I go to the Temple.  I feel peace, love, understanding and just happy!  The Temple is the Place to Be!
