Minnesota Temple

So our little girls trip turned out to be a mini-family reunion when my aunt, uncle and cousins in Nebraska drove out to to see us. I think my uncle Greg figured since he already had 3 out of 5 siblings and a Dad out to Minnesota, it might be a good time to get sealed to his wife Kimberly and my cousin Taylor. They had been planning to go to the Temple ever since they go re-married so I guess now was as good a time as any. My mom's two other siblings flew out and my Grandma Nelson who is on a mission right now in North Carolina got permission from her mission president to fly out for the weekend as well. It was truly a special treat. The Temple is beautiful and to have lots of family there was awesome!



My Gramma is the cutest sister missionary. She wore her name tag all weekend and went to bed early and everything!



It was so neat to see my aunt, uncle and cousin sealed together as a family for time and eternity. I couldn't help but be grateful for the blessings of the Temple...



I loved that I was able to be there with my Mom and sister...



I thought of forgiveness while I was in the Temple. It seems to be a theme that runs in our family. And while it doesn't always come easily from one to another, it comes freely from the Lord through the atonement of our Savior Jesus Christ so long as we choose to repent and come again unto Him.



It was so fun to see my extended family and spend time with them. I love you guys!!
