This is What I Want

I don't know if I mentioned this or not, but this summer I got to go to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House. It was a great moment for me. I walked in, and immediately the Spirit was so strong as I wandered through. The two most powerful moments were when I walked into the Celestial Room, and the sealing room. I walked into the Celestial and just wanted to stand there forever. Nothing seemed more important to me in Utah than staying in that room, just soaking in the Spirit and knowing that if I could have a life where I always felt like I was in the Celestial Room, then I would live for that.
Second moment where the Spirit really got my attention was when we stopped in the Sealing Room at the end of the trip through the temple. I sat there staring at the alter and into the mirrors, realizing that when (not if) I go through there with someone they will be with me forever. It made me think. Who do I really want to go to the temple with?
I gotta say if you haven't had the chance to go through an Open House, you really have missed out. It was one of my best experiences in Utah, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
