Cool Experiences

I met a guy here at work named John Conway. He told me he was baptized a member of the church one year ago. As we became friends here, he shared with me the story of his and his wifes conversion to the church. It has been the neatest opportunity to hear his story and his testimony. My testimony has grown becase of listening to him. He told me last week that he and his wife were being sealed in the temple and invited me to go. I had to work that day or I definitely would have gone.
I worked with him two days after they had been sealed and you could see an obvious change in him. He had a different spirit with him. It was so incredible to see. I told him that he looked different to me, and he told me he felt different.
He told me that he had to prepare a talk for sunday school and decided to talk about the temple. He said he thought to himself, "the temple is a spiritual disneyland". He said that at the end of the day, or the end of what we are doing, we should say, "Lets go to the temple". It has been such a great opportunity for me to learn from him. I know that the temple is so important and needs to be an integral part of our lives. I am so thankful for good friends who help me and teach me important principles that I need to live by in my life. The pics here are pics that I took at the Mesa temple. It is such a great place to go to feel the spirit.

Very neat story. I am glad that he has made an impact on you, as I am sure you have made an impact on him. Love the pics of the flowers. They won't be here for long with the heat coming on. Enjoy while they last!
