The kids had a Primary Activity on Saturday. They had it at the Mesa Temple to learn about "Our Eternal Family", which is the theme for primary this year. They sang a few songs there and walked around the temple grounds and stopped a couple of times along the way to be taught about certain things about the temple, how it is Jesus' home, we can be sealed together as a family forever, we can do baptisms for the dead, and how special a place it is. At the end they had each child go up and touch the temple because if they touched the temple, the temple would then touch their lives. We took a group pic with the temple in the background. I could tell the kids really felt the spirit there. They were all very reverent and respectful. Jackson and Briana always folded their arms whenever we were walking anywhere. It was a wonderful activity for them to learn more about the temple and actually be there to see where it takes place instead of just talking about it. I am so grateful for the blessings of the temple and I could tell the kids understood how important it is to me and Jerry.

What a great activity. You are so lucky to live so close to the temple. We have a 2 hour drive to Seattle, so we don't get there as often as we would like with all of our little ones. It's awesome for the kids to see it up close and learn the importance of the Temple and the many blessings it brings to our lives. Beautiful picture of you with your kids in front of the Christus.
