What a Weekend!

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to go up to Washington DC and participate, for the first time, in temple work.  We started our trip early so we could walk around DC and look at some of the monuments and museums and such, but then we went for the main event.  And it was one of the best experiences.  I am so glad I got to go and feel the spirit so strongly with me, and be around people that felt the same way.  Honestly, a combination of yesterday and today's awesome talks and lessons in church, then spending the afternoon and evening with great friends- new and old- I don't want this week to start.  I'm not ready to go out into the world yet, I want to hold onto this peace and happiness I feel.  I suppose that is my challenge, our challenge, in life. To be in the world but not let the world rule us. To hold onto out inner peace amongst the chaos.  I only hope I can succeed!  I know I will need it this week.
