yet another life step…

I went through the temple for the first time today and took out my endowments. It was a really happy experience. Overwhelming and kinda confusing, but happy. I can see the truth in what goes on in there, and I’m excited to go back and learn more. One of the nice sisters said it’s like reading the scriptures: the first time you read them, they’re pretty confusing, and there’s tons of information, and they’re even kind of boring. But each time you read them, you grow to understand and love them more and more. I want to go back again and again so I can understand and love the temple more and more. I’m not too worried that I didn’t quite “get” everything. I will. I’ll get there.
