Temple Blessings

Well I know a lot of you are anticipating the Gila Valley Temple!!! We can't wait, it was such an exciting experience to be able to watch the broadcast of the ground breaking yesterday and to be able to feel the spirit of all of those who were there, in this life and the life beyond. I just wanted to share that we really felt the spirit especially of my G & G Thygerson, that side of the family was really there. Let me tell you that this temple is going to be biggest blessing for our family. Our family goal with the help of our Bishop is to be able to be endowed once this temple is built and to be able to have our family sealed together for time and all eternity. This is one of the most exciting things that I have ever had an interview with the Bishop about.

I am thankful for a loving father in heaven who is forgiving and for the atonement that our heavenly father so gave us. I am thankful for second chances and the opportunity to do this side by side with my husband and grow together with him and see his changes as he grows closer to thee.

This next Sunday will be a great start to all of this. Chris will be receiving the Aronic Priesthood, and he is very excited. He thought that when he was baptized he was ordained along with it, but they is no record, and Bishop would just like to have it done the right way twice rather than to have it all taken away.

I am thankful for all of the blessings that our family has received and really do appreciate the examples in our ward that have helped friendship Chris. I am thankful for all of my family and friends also.

I guess you can say that I am kind of bearing my testimony. Well please keep us in your prays and we try to meet this goal!!! So here we go...eagerly awaiting the temple to be built so help us get the things done which we need to do to get to the Celestial Kingdom!!!!

Love you all!!! - Whitney
