About 2 weeks ago I was able to go to the newest Temple with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law. It was the OQUIRRH (oo-cur)MOUNTAIN TEMPLE. It was an awesome experience because I had gone through the open house just two weeks prior and it was at the dedication that I decided to do visit every temple in the state of Utah. Two Temples down, eleven more to go!

As for my "theme" it was hope. I turned to Ether 12 in the Book of Mormon while waiting for my family and it kept coming up.
***
4. Wherefore, whoso believeth in God might with ^asurety ^bhope for a better world, yea, even a place at the right hand of God, which ^chope cometh of ^dfaith, maketh an ^eanchor to the souls of men, which would make them sure and steadfast, always abounding in ^fgood works, being led to ^gglorify God.
***
6. And now, I, Moroni, would speak somewhat concerning these things; I would show unto the world that ^afaith is things which are ^bhoped for and ^cnot seen; wherefore, dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no ^dwitness until after the ^etrial of your faith.
***
9. Wherefore, ye may also have hope, and be partakers of the gift, if ye will but have faith.
***
32 And I also remember that thou hast said that thou hast prepared a house for man, yea, even among the ^amansions of thy Father, in which man might have a more excellent ^bhope; wherefore man must hope, or he cannot receive an inheritance in the place which thou hast prepared.
***

For another great message of hope please read "The Infinite Power of Hope" by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf.

I fave felt a great increase of faith and hope since I made the commitment to attend the temple more often. Thank you for following me in my Temple Trip
