In April Conference, there was a talk given called "Sacred Home, Sacred Temple" by Elder Gary E. Stevenson. He said, "Even our young children have been encouraged to visit the temple grounds and touch the temple. President Thomas S. Monson once counseled, “As we touch the temple, the temple will touch us." I had never thought of this before, so we
took Matthew to see and touch the Newport Beach Temple. We tried going one Sunday and on a Monday for FHE, but the grounds were closed, so we had 2 family home evenings this week. It was a perfect afternoon to go.
Matthew really loved the waterfall.
My little pouch...it doesn't look like I'm pregnant, it just looks like I had too much to eat! I started showing with Matty pretty quick too, but luckily it feels like I'm carrying this baby higher because I can still wear my pants! With Matthew, I was out of my regular pants pretty quick! In a month or two, I might actually look pregnant! :)
We taught Matthew about the Angel Moroni and how he is on the top of our temples! He was very excited about that! The pictures below are of Matthew showing us Moroni and telling us, "He's on the top!"
It was a wonderful experience and one that Matthew learned from! Every night we have to sing a song about temples! Hopefully he felt how important temples are and what a blessing they are to us! We feel so lucky to be blessed to live so close to a temple!
