Angeliques trip to the temple.




May 2010 was Angeliques first time to go to the temple for baptisms for the dead. She did not realize I was going to go with her. Then she didn't realize she was going to get wet. I helped her pick out her clothes and witnessed her do the ordinances. I handed her the towel when she got out of the water. It was great! After the youth gathered around I volunteered to say a few words to the youth. I explained to them how I am originally from corpus christi and remember traveling days to get to the temple, then hours.. I told them of a spiritual eperience I had. I said my dad died when I was 11 and when it was time to go to the temple I prayed that I would see him. We wouldn't have the chance to go to the temple that often and everytime I fasted and prayed before I went. I told them I figured if I was going to see my dead father what better place then the temple. I told them i began to get really frustrated when I continually didn't see him. I went to my heavenly father in prayer and pleaded to know why? I said do i need to fast five days instead of two? Pray harder? what was it? And I heard someone say he can't visit you in the temple. What a testimony that was to me, of what goes on in the after life. That we have our freedom to choose. I don't know if my dad wasn't worthy or he hadn't been taught the gospel. But I did know my h.f. answered my prayer and made my testimony of his work even stronger!
