Once upon a time it was day six on my mission and my mom had just gotten into Utah from Phoenix. So we went up to the Draper temple to do sealings because my mom had never done them for other people before! She didnt know how fun they are. I kind of like doing them for children because I can not think of any other kind of happiness than that of being able to be rejoined with one's parents. My parents are my bestest friends in the whole wide world and such strong, enduring people. They mean so much to me and I can not even imagine not being with them. I know it sounds so cheesy and cliche but I really can't! But anyways, I think that the Draper temple may be my favorite so far. Although I do say that about all the temples I visit.. :P But I think this time was more special because it was jsut me and my mom. Me and my bestest friend. Im only ever my truest, truest self when I'm with my mom. We joke and laugh all the time! Whenever we're together. So we went in to do the sealings and the sealer turned out to be a stake president from Cincinnati! It was a sign!! Just like yesterday when I was getting lunch at the food court, and I got change back, and one of them was an Ohio state quarter!! It was a sign! haha so back to the sealings. Me and my mom were only able to do a couple names each because we left the sealing session a little early... hahah because my mom kept sliding off the bench when she got up to kneel at the alter, and I just could not stop giggling at her!! Neither could she. So we decided to leave before we got too irreverent and disruptive... :P And we thought that we would have to go through a session to see the celestial room, but the sealer was so nice and generous, he walked us all the way over there and let us in!! The celestial room was very very small, but the chandelier was just gorgeous! I loved being in there the most of any of the other temples, I think because me and my mom were the only ones in there except for a temple worker. And it was just so fun! I loved being in there with just my mom we had a lot of fun :] We were sitting on a couch and it was so quiet that our voices echoed even though the room was relatively small, and then my mom heard a sound outside from the hallway maybe, that sounded like someone crying. My mom was like "do you hear someone crying?" I was like, "yeah... oh! maybe its someone wailing. Maybe a couple is getting married and an ex-girlfriend of the groom came in wailing, crashing the wedding!" hahahahhaa and me and my mom just started laughing so hard! At the thought of such a dramatic scene in the temple! Count on me to think of something so nutty, even in a place as sacred as the celestial room of the temple! So then we decided to leave before we became too loud in there as well! Later we found out that the wailing sound was a very small baby that had gone in to be joined with its parents! ^.^ Just before we left the temple though, we went down and saw the baptistry. It was just huge in all its magnificence and glory! Biggest baptistry I've ever seen! But anyways, that was a very happy day. A day fashioned after the manner of happiness!! The end! ^.^
