This week for family home evening we decided to drive to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple and teach Clara the song, 'I Love to see the Temple.' As soon as we told her where we were going she was excited. While driving the temple was in view most of the time and Clara would always shout "TEMPO!!!" Also while driving we were teaching her the song, by the time we got there she was singing some of the words along with us. We pulled into the parking lot and were talking to her about how someday she could go inside. We asked her "Clara, would you like to go inside someday?" Her reply was "Please?" After a few more minutes of similar conversation we decided to start the drive home. When we told Clara we were going home she got upset and started saying, "ready?" over and over. So I asked her, "are you ready to go into the temple?" Her reply once again was "please?" We just had to keep telling her that she could go in ten more years. She decided that was okay. But almost every time since that we drive by the temple she tells us that she is ready.
Clara,
My greatest wish for you is to be happy. Going to the temple and being married there for eternity to your sweetheart is one of the greatest desires I have for you. If you can keep yourself worthy and "ready" to enter the temple your life will be blessed more than you can imagine. I hope you will always keep yourself '"ready" and have that as your goal. I love you more than you could ever know.
Love always,
Mom
