Saturday March 12th my whole family got to be in the Gila Valley Arizona Temple. What a joy and what a blessing. I love my family and I am so grateful that they all desire righteousness. I'm grateful that they each have their own testimonies. I am grateful that we were all able to be in the temple together. Dallin is the baptizer every Saturday morning, so we went during his shift. He baptized each one of us including Scott, who hasn't been baptized since his youth. He forgot that you hold your nose when you go backwards. Scott is usually the one baptizing. DeWitt went first and when Dallin was done with him, they gave each other a huge hug. Oh my heart swelled with joy at the brotherly love. Then Allison went, then Lillian, then Polly, which was her first time, then me and then Scott. Dallin gave each of us a big hug. All of the temple workers were sighing with tenderness. We are just a very loving family. My joy was so full on this Saturday. I love days like this.
I have to say that my vision of Dallin and DeWitt hugging after Dallin baptized him brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing.
