The Temple is the House of God

Dear Family and Friends,

It's been a crazy and busy couple of weeks.  And  it's all a blur now.  School has gotten super busy. We are over half way through the semester.  We have just about a month and a half left!  So little time and so much to do! It's exciting but rather stressful.


I have been trying to put God first in my life and that started with me reading my scriptures first thing every morning rather than at the end of the day.  Making such a small change to my schedule has made all the difference in my weeks.  Somehow, I have more time.  I'm always able to get things done and I'm not getting bad grades.  They aren't always as good as I'm used to, but with how busy I am and with where my priorities are, I feel very blessed with every aspect in my life.  And I realized that I was being blessed for putting God first and making my scripture study a priority.  This led me to want to increase my temple attendance.  I have started striving to go once a week.  My previous goal was once a month.  I've been very successful, and have felt the blessing it is in my life.  The temple is the house of God.  I know it is.  It's as close as we can get to Heaven.  It's a wonderful place to seek extra revelation and support from our loving Father.  I'm so grateful that I have the chance to go to the temple almost every week.  The spirit there is so strong, and I need it to get through my busy and hectic life!

Con amor,

S. Olsen
