We are trying to take advantage of all of Ben's free time during this ER rotation. We headed down to Missouri this week for the Kansas City Temple open house. We went Wednesday night after the ultrasound and stayed in a hotel that night. The kids were in heaven on the pull-out couch...they both chose the couch instead of the extra bed :)
Thursday morning we went to see the new temple. It was beautiful and an amazing experience for our kids to see the beauty inside the temple and learn more about what we do when we go.
After the tour of the temple we went to Independence to the fun Visitors Center where the kids learned more about the pioneers.
We also went to see the Liberty Jail and learn more about Joseph Smith's imprisonment there. It was a really fun church history-filled day!
I am grateful for Joseph Smith and all of the pioneers, for all of the sacrifices that were made so that my family can have the gospel of Jesus Christ in our lives today. I am also grateful for temples and the covenants we are able to make there so that we can be an eternal family and return to our Father in heaven. It was so good to have this time as a family to remember what matters most and realize how blessed we really are!
