We love to see the temple






We took the kids to the Columbia South Carolina Temple today. Bob and I took turns doing temple work and watching the kids. It was a great experience for all of us!

Elder Gary Stevenson said, "Even our young children have been encouraged to visit the temple grounds and touch the temple."

President Thomas S. Monson said, "As we touch the temple, the temple will touch us."

We testify that today we've been "touched" by the temple.

We love to see the temple.
We're going again someday
To feel the Holy Spirit,
To listen and to pray.
For the temple is a house of God,
A place of love and beauty.
We'll prepare ourselves while we are young;
This is our sacred duty.
