The Temple

Hello again. I still haven't told anyone about this blog. Maybe I will. Maybe I won't. But, in any case, I just wanted to say how much I love this place:

This is a temple for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. For those who are unfamiliar with temples, click here. But, as a summary, the church (aka Mormons) build temples for a few purposes. We literally believe that it is literally the House of the Lord and that He is there, although we may not see his physical presence. In the temple, Mormons make sacred promises with God to live up to a high standard of moral conduct. Many Mormons go to the temple to seek answers to their prayers or to simply feel more at peace. Yesterday, I went to this temple. This one is in Laie, Hawaii, but there are temples all over the world. I went to receive an answer to prayer/to be given direction in life. While I was there, I didn't feel like I received a direct answer to my prayer, but I felt peace and comfort more than I had in a long time. Even though I didn't get what I wanted, I got what I needed. God helped me in a way that I wasn't expecting. I love going to the temple. It's amazing.
