Moments in Time

Last month, I did something amazing. I went through the Temple for myself and as I am the only member of my family who is a member of the church, I didn't have family to join with me that day. Most of these people I've known a little more or less than a year. The 2 young women at my side, I have known longer than anyone else in this photo. I am so grateful for the family who has adopted me, and accepted me, and loved me, who hasn't judged me. I'm grateful for my faith and the work I get to do to contribute to the Lord's Kingdom. The people here are my people, my brothers and sisters, and I am eternally grateful for each and every one of them, (and of course, sweet Rachel, the mother of one of the sweetest human beings I know, who is taking the photo). I thought I'd have more to say. But... my heart is full and I have no more words to convey the joy and gratitude I feel.
