It's late and I'm really tired. Just a couple of things I want to jot down before going to sleep.
1. I'm grateful I could attend the Gilbert Temple with my friend, Charlee, tonight (and saw some other friends from our ward there too, which was nice). I loved the opportunity to pray in the Celestial Room and feel close to my Heavenly Father. I prayed for Oliver and how to connect with him, I prayed for each of our children and how I can help them feel loved, I prayed for the sisters in my ward and some specifically by name and many other things. Charlee shared a beautiful, sacred experience she had in the temple in the past, back home in Brazil. I loved hearing it and sharing an experience I had where I felt my Grandma Roberts so strongly in the Celestial Room with me, it brought tears to my eyes. As I waited for Charlee outside of the bathroom in the dressing room, I found myself alone and I expressed gratitude to Heavenly Father for being in the temple tonight. I felt the Spirit wash over me and stay with me for several minutes. It really was beautiful.
2. When I dropped Charlee off, she shared some pretty heavy, personal things with me. I'm grateful she trusts me and I'm grateful for her friendship. She told me a while back that I'm the perfect person to be the RS President and that I have helped her a lot. That touched my heart and we both had tears in our eyes as we hugged. She's a beautiful person.
3. Off topic but so cute: Nathan was upset that he took lunch today instead of buying a hotdog at school. We talked about it and I explained how he can choose what days to take lunch or buy based on the menu. Later I said, "I missed you today Buddy." He said, "I missed the hot dog." That made me laugh. They melt my heart - all five of them.
Sooooooooooo tired!!!
