Holy Places

I was looking at some pictures sent to me of the rioting going on at the temples.
It brought tears to my eyes.
As I was crying, Kate asked, "What happened Mommy?"
I told her that those people weren't being nice to the temples and it made me sad.
She said, "Ohhh it's ok Mommy, I help you. Daddy help you [with the] temples Mommy. Daddy will help you a temple Mommy. Don't be sad (as she stroked my face). They're naughty Mommy."

And yes, they are naughty.
I've been here in California over a week now and I've heard so many good people who have put in long hours of service to help pass Prop 8. I am grateful for them and their beliefs of marriage being ordained between a man and a woman.
I was also sad to hear about the closing of the LA temple today. These are crazy times.
But I LOVE out TEMPLES!!!!

The LA Temple closed??? I feel so isolated some days sitting at home playing with Jo and holding Atticus. I just don't know much about what's going on. It makes me want to run to the temple, get in as much time as I can in case the privilege is taken away.

I was in the LA temple when we had to be quarantined until the anthrax threat was over on Thursday. We were there for 2 and a half hours after the session - it was pretty crazy.
