It's seriously like summer here in Logan. I didn't even wear a coat to church today! It's amazing. Allie, Abbey, Ashly, and I decided to go and take photos at the Logan temple of Abbey with her California flag as a practice for her actual mission photos that her aunt is taking of her in a few weeks. Sadly, the gates were closed and locked because the temple has been closed for a few weeks for cleaning.

I am so grateful for Abigail and the example that she is in my life. I absolutely adore her. Even when her "Circle of Life" alarm goes of at full volume every morning at 7am or when our room smells like the horse barn- I still love her. She makes me laugh so hard that I start crying and I will never not be impressed at her ability to throw down rap "Without Me" at any moment. Bless you Illene.
One of the talks from this past General Conference that I love is this one. It's from Elder Quentin L. Cook and he talks about being worthy to enter the temple all the time- in good times and in bad times. I absolutely love the temple and the Logan temple will always have a special place in my heart but not being able to go onto the temple grounds because of the gates being locked sucked. It reminded me about how not living worthy to enter the temple is just like having those gates locked around the temple. And that breaks my heart because I absolutely love the temple. I don't remember who told me this (it was probably like a Girl's Camp leader or something), but they told me that always living worthy to enter the temple would be one of the greatest blessings in my life. Because being locked out of the temple is awful and fun for nobody.

WE LOVE TO SEE THE TEMPLE
"Life is not easy, nor was it meant to be. It is a time of testing and trial. Amid such trails, I promise you that living and maintaining temple-worthy lives will hold together all that really matters. The sweet blessings of peace, happiness, and joy, along with the blessings of eternal life and celestial glory with our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, will be realizes." -Elder Quentin L. Cook
Always live worthy of entering the temple.
Love, Caitie
