Today was an amazing day! and i feel that i should write it down so this is more for me but its also to tell about my experience. Today my mom texted me and asked me if i wanted to go to baptisms with her and i was like eh my head hurts and my legs hurt from my walk yesterday. Then i felt like maybe we should just go walk around take pictures and talk and maybe just feel more at peace with whats going on in our lives and to maybe get some guidance. Well we were taking pictures and walking around and i was like "is there a back to the temple that we could walk around" and my mom goes "ya". so we started walking and she was gonna go the back way like past the gates and i said to her, " where you going this looks like the way to the back". we started walking back there and we just looking at all the beauty around us. then i was like lets go take a picture over here as we started walking over there i saw this lady just sit down and start to cry out loud and i said to my mom should we go comfort her. so we walked over there and i said is there anything we can do for you besides give you a hug and she said that the love of her life passed away on wednesday and they were never sealed to each other they were engaged but they hadn't gotten married and sealed and she was so sad and she was at the temple to meet with the temple president to ask if she would be able to be sealed to him in the next life and she got the news that they could be sealed while she is on earth he told her that if she still had the burning desire and love that she does now in the next 2-3 months then she can be sealed to him. and she told me and my mom that she loved him so much and how they met and how when she saw him that the holy ghost told her that if he wasnt married to pursue him. The man she loves is name curt, and curt had been electrocuted at age 16 and didnt have legs and that he had won so many races in his wheel chair and set many records and that he was just so beautiful. she then asked my mom for her name and my mom said jennie and she asked me and i said jenna and she goes oh my gosh jennies my grandmothers name and jenna is curts daughters name. and later my mom told her we kind of know about grieving because of my niece Kaiya. and all my mom said was that she has lost a grandchild and that it was really hard and how hard it was to see her daughter(my sister) go through it and how my dad had lost his job the following december and how its the same trial but that its hard. the lady then stops my mom and said what does your husband do for work and what do you do for work and my goes he works with computers and that shes and lpn nurse. the lady just goes i have connections with computers i know people and she just starts listing places and shes like email me and have him send in his resume and ill help him get in some where and shes like i dont know about nursing but im sure i can think of something. me and my mom were just in shock that all of a sudden she was helping us. she then asked us what was the name of the grandchild that passed away and my mom told her kaiya and she goes oh my gosh thats the name of curts granddaughter and that jhis daughter jenna had a little girl named kaiya. we kept talking and it was just an amazing experience how we just helped each other how me and my mom could be there for her( karen is her name) and how she was able to help my mom and even me with my life stuff. somehere in the middle of us all talking she said you guys are suppose to be here in utah this is where you guys are suppose to be. she had no idea i was doubting on being here in utah but the holy ghost was just so strong and she felt impressed to say it. amazing i kept wondering why i didnt wanna do baptisms but now i know why. karen is amazing and i hope to keep in contact with her :)
