Completed - Temple for a Year
15. For one year go to the temple once a month (8/25/2018)
This was a wonderful goal to accomplish and I just love the temple. I know that going to the temple, even without doing ordinances, has helped me to get through this past year that has been incredibly hard for me. I plan to continue going monthly, or at least every other month from now on.
Here are all the times I went to the temple this past year! I took these excerpts directly from the Me Monthly updates they were featured in :)
1. August 2017
Jonathan and I went to the temple on the 19th and did a session. I'm hoping this can be the start of this goal. It had been way too long since we had been to the temple and I really want, and NEED, to go more.
2. September 2017
In September I went with Amanda to do initiatory! Two months down, 10 to go!
3. October 2017
This month was a little different - we went and helped clean the temple! I got to vacuum some sealing rooms, one of the veils and half of the celestial room! It was really cool and I'm grateful for the experience :)
4. November 2017
For November I went to my little brother's sealing! It was so sweet and I'm so happy for Peter and Zoa! In December I'll be going to another sealing, which I might count as my trip to the temple, but I really need to get back to doing ordinances. December is really busy, so if I can't make it I'll still have been at the temple, but I do want to try to go do ordinances. I'm just glad I've been able to be IN the temple once a month, which is definitely better than nothing.
5. December 2017
In December I'm counting my attendance at Katie friend's wedding. Next month though, it's back to doing ordinances!
6. January 2018
In January we went and did sealings! We were going to do a session, but then the front desk had the little "patrons needed for sealings" out and we felt like we should do that. So we did! :)
7. February 2018
For February, Jonathan and I did an endowment session. I had a really good experience and I just love the temple! I really like this goal, and I want to keep it up after the year is up.
8. March 2018
This month Amanda and I went to do initiatory! We also ran into Melanie Manwaring, the bishop's wife of our old YSA ward. She is an absolute delight and it was so great to catch up with her :)
9. April 2018
I almost forgot to go this month! It got to the last week when I finally remembered. This month was crazy, but luckily I was able to find a good time to go. I went by myself and did initiatory ordinances. I really like doing those :)
- May 2018
I didn't make it to the temple this month!! :( :( I didn't remember until the last few days and it just didn't work to go. Because I'm so close to finishing, I'm just going to add another month onto the end. We're working on planning a day for this month already!
10. June 2018
Got to the temple this month! It was so good to go. We did a session and I got to see one of the old videos! What an experience haha :)
11. July 2018
It was the last day of the month, but I made it to the temple! I went to the Provo City Center temple for the first time (so pretty!!) and did initiatory. I had a really great experience and got to have good conversations with a few ladies. It was just nice :) Only one more month and I'll have this one done!
12. August 2018
I didn't write this one in my monthly update - must have just slipped my mind, but that post was also a hot mess, so it makes sense! I did make it to the temple! I went and did an endowment session by myself. I went in with a slight headache and came out with a migrane, which was no fun. But my favorite video played (the one that played when I was endowed), so that helped make the experience a little better :)
12 months of temple trips - check! As I said above, I really want to keep this up. We already went in September and I've decided to schedule a temple day to our calendar every time I plan out a new month. I know that the temple blesses my life and the lives of my ancestors as I help them to receive their ordinances and gain exaltation. It's all about family! :)

DUDE. I've literally only seen a new video ONCE. Granted, I haven't gone very much the last couple years. :( But every time I go, it's one of the old ones! I think it's the Lord's way of testing me to see if I can keep a good attitude while at the temple haha.
