My Ancestors Rejoice~Families Are Forever




This morning my family and I went to the Provo Temple to complete some family names and bound them as families forever. I felt their presence and acceptance of this work in their behalf.

It was sweet and joyful for me. I have a firm testimony that this work is sacred and a great blessing not only to them, but to me and my posterity. So much has transpired to bring this day to fruition.

The last several months, I have taken it upon myself to do some clearing of past issues and feel a great burden was lifted. I know that any work I do for myself affects me and my ancestors and posterity. Plain and simple. The kind of work we do in the temples is an extension of the work done out side when it comes to clearing emotional baggage. We carry in our DNA who and what our forefathers bore and or suffered in life. Letting go of a lot that clear the way for great things to come to pass.

Many are aware of how key the act and miracle of forgiveness to and from others empowers us and our progression here and on the other side. Suffice it to say that all that we can do is important. Yet God does the rest, as he sent his son to complete the plan of salvation; we just have to put our trust and faith in him, after all we can do.

After the temple we went to Mi Ranchito and had "heritage" food. We celebrated being together and the blessings for our ancestors. Beth, Matt's wife joined us for this week end activity and even suggested we go to the temple during her visit.

So, thank you Beth, for allowing us this opportunity to be together during your visit.
