Our first trip to the Atlanta Temple!!!!

We dropped the kids off to Memi and left at 6:00am, and caught the 11:30am session and then headed off the the cannery to pick up our RS food order, which was fun. It's fun to meet the missonary couples that work there, they are always so nice. Then we went to the airport to get Lucky. All of this was made possible because of a generous, wonderful lady, one of my favorite people, Miss Erlene, who took all 4 girls and entertained them all day. They all loved being with her and will drop anything to spend time with her. She has had such a good influence on my children and teaches them things I can't. We love her so much. Then of course we couldn't have done it without the help of a borrowed "TomTom"!!!! If I had enough money, I would buy one of them, they are so awesome! I knew it would get us there with not problems and it did. We were in uncharted territory, and we did it in record time and didn't get lost! Thanks to our friends, and family, and a lot of help from the Lord who blessed us with them in our lives and who kept us safe as we traveled through Tropical Storm Fay. We had a wonderful day, and I had one of the most spiritual experiences in the temple. I was crying happy tears the entire time I was in the temple. The spirit was so strong, and I felt like I was in heaven. The church is true, we have a living prophet on the earth today to help direct us back to our Heavenly Father. I know this with out a doubt. I am so thankful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
