A place I have been #5, The Medford Oregon Temple.
I love to go to the Temple; it is the House of the Lord. I feel so blessed to have one so close to where I live. The Holy Ghost is there and I feel closer to our Heavenly Father and Savior, Jesus Christ within it’s wall. The Temple is a peaceful place. As I attend the Temple I receive blessing, one of which is peace.
This year I have felt even more peace in my life as I attend the Temple. I have been able to go at least 4 times each month (usually one a week). I have been able to serve in many areas of the Temple. One in which I enjoy is working in the Baptistery. I love every time I enter the Temple, but two that were most dear this year were attending with my family. In January we went as a family (Glenn, Myself, Sarah and Katie). It was Katie’s first time inside the Temple. She was so excited and had a wonderful experience serving in the Temple. In March I was able to go to the Provo Temple with Jacob and Kathryn. “I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth." - 3 John 4
I appreciate how these latter-day prophets describe the Temple.
President Gordon B. Hinckley, First Counselor in the First Presidency, said that the temple is “a symbol of strength, a haven of peace, a sanctuary of service, a school of instruction, a place of revelation, … a house of covenants” (“The Salt Lake Temple,” March. 1993, p. 4).
President Thomas S. Monson, “In the temple, the precious plan of God is taught. It is in the temple that eternal covenants are made. The temple lifts us, exalts us, stands as a beacon for all to see, and points us toward celestial glory. It is the house of God. All that occurs within the walls of the temple is uplifting and ennobling.”
“The temple provides purpose for our lives. It brings peace to our souls”
