The Temple: a place of peace and perspective
When I was twelve I attended the temple for the first time. I don’t remember the details of the visit, but I do remember feeling love, peace, and warmth and a strong desire to return to the temple. I decided to attend often.

President Thomas S. Monson taught, “As we attend the temple, there can come to us a dimension of spirituality and a feeling of peace which will transcend any other feeling which could come into the human heart…Such peace can permeate any heart—hearts that are troubled, hearts that are burdened down with grief, hearts that feel confusion, hearts that plead for help…
“As we go to the temple, as we remember the covenants we make there, we will be better able to overcome … temptations and to bear our trials. In the temple we can find peace.” (April 2015)
As a youth, temple attendance helped me not get so stressed by school work, relationships, and other worries. The temple continually gives me direction and peace when I don’t know what to do. It has given me an eternal perspective which has made all the difference in my life.

President Boyd K. Packer taught, “At the temple the dust of distraction seems to settle out, the fog and the haze seem to lift, and we can “see” things that we were not able to see before and find a way through our troubles that we had not previously known.” (Feb 1995, The Holy Temple)
I testify that the temple is the House of the Lord and that our lives will be blessed as we attend often. We will have peace and perspective and will grow closer to God and our family as we serve in the temple.
