Temple blessings to new converts...

I got to be part of a family sealing today at the temple. A family that started with one convert baptism in our ward about two years ago became a couple, then her family became members, then they had a child. The sealing was normal. Nothing really stood out to me about it. I've been a part of that before and seen it plenty of times.
Then they brought in the 11 month old baby who is normally pretty rambunctious and I witnessed something I have never seen before. I have never seen a child who looked so joyful and peaceful at the same time. Watching this baby become an eternal part of his family was amazing to say the least. I really can't think of words to describe it.
My testimony of this gospel grew today and my heart was touched in a special way.

  1. That's awesome Jerem. It would take a baby for us adults to realize the power of the spirit in the temple, at times. Kelly will like this and will probably experience this on a number of occasions over the years.
