We traveled to Richfield friday night for the first of multiple trips this month. We grabbed some donuts from the Fractured Prune and made our way up to Richfield in our little car.
We surprised my family with the donuts (which are very lovely by the way//I suggest you try them if you're ever in St. George).
The next morning we got up and got ready to go to the Manti Temple. My aunt Staci and uncle Corey adopted a cute little girl from Haiti and her name is Mara. She is 3 years old and they've been trying to adopt her pretty much since she's been born. Finally after three years of so many heart wrenching emotions, they got to bring her home around Valentines day. Well on Saturday, May 3rd, they were able to be sealed to her for time and all eternity in the Manti Temple! We were able to be there and it was the most beautiful and touching experience I have ever seen.
She truly is such a joy to be around. She is so bright and happy and her cheerfulness is spread to everyone who even lays eyes on her. She is amazing and such a blessing to our family! It was so neat to be a part of the Morrison's special day.
There is no doubt in my mind that she is meant to be in our family. And I know she knows it too.
After the beautiful experience in the temple, the family celebrated by going to eat at a restaurant in Manti.
The next day Mara was able to get blessed and her big brother Shay was able to be ordained an Elder.
It was a weekend full of happy tears and bright spirits!
The weekend was just a confirmation to me that families truly can be together forever. The temple is where we are suppose to be! Being there with a bunch of my family reminded me of the day Drew and I got married and it just brings me so much happiness! The temple is and should always be our goal and our destination. It is such a beautiful, peaceful, happy place and to me it's like a piece of heaven right on this earth.
The church is true and I'm so so so happy I get to be with my family forever!
Love,
Kate
