family temple walk

The blessings of my grandparents' callings to serve in the Los Angeles Temple presidency are really felt when the entire family is together at their home right next to the temple, the spire peeking high over their backyard fence. Since their calling, it's become a tradition to take a family temple walk together after dinner. The temple is such a beautiful and powerful place. My family is fun and loving and close. And when I see the two side by side I am profoundly grateful for the knowledge I have that families are eternal, and that we are sealed together for time and all eternity because of this wonderful, holy place, because of the Atonement and Resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ, and because of the Restoration of the gospel in these latter-days. It was a perfect evening stroll, ended with a visit to the Visitor's Center. A little slice of heaven.
