I like going to the temple. I feel the Spirit there.

My first time in the temple was a great time. I had gone to a temple open house before and it was amazing. I saw where the baptisms for the dead were done. I was so happy and was filled with joy when I went through the temple, and the rest of my day was filled with the Spirit. I love to go the temple.

Walking into the celestial room felt like walking into heaven. The Spirit was the strongest I have ever felt before.

One time I went to the temple by myself. It was so amazing to have that opportunity. I could feel the Spirit a lot more and also the love of the temple workers. After that visit I have loved to go to the temple. On another temple visit a temple worker who was performing confirmations pointed out that those people had waited over 400 years to get baptized.

My favorite part of going to the Ogden Temple open house was the celestial room. It was so pure and bright. Once each group got in there it was very quiet and spiritual. I also loved the baptismal font.

When I did baptisms for the dead in the Salt Lake Temple I felt different than usual. I felt calm, happy, clean, and pure.

One of the many great experiences I have had in the temple is the sealing of my family. I truly felt the Spirit and the true importance of families. Being sealed by my great-grandpa to my sister and parents for eternity was one of the most spiritual experiences of my life. Even as a seven-year-old I truly felt the Spirit.
