Both mine and Casey's parents came up to be
with me which was wonderful!
And I had all my brothers there with me,
which was so special!
Right before we went in it was snowing bunches and it was SO beautiful!
And then we came out afterwards, it was beautiful and clear and pristine!
I loved the feelings I felt throughout my time in the temple and I can't wait to go back again.The Draper Temple is beautiful inside and has a whole different meaning to me. I'm so grateful for the the time I was able to go inside to make more covenants.
I absolutely loved it and I can't wait to go again!
