Last night I entered the Vancouver LDS temple for the first time as an endowed member. What a surreal experience. It felt like coming home...
I was able to go through at the same time as one of my good friends, Liam Murley, who is headed to Barcelona, Spain in June for his mission. The night before I sent him a YouTube clip, and attached a short message saying "Cannot wait for our special day tomorrow! XO".
Hahaha it came across as if we were getting married the next day. Nope! Hahaha
Afterwards (in my mind), all I could think was "Brooke, you will do great things....FAIL"
Back to the for real stuff though. I regret pushing back my temple date so close to my departure date because going through the temple has COMPLETELY refreshed and invigorated my mind, soul and body. I am full-to-the-brim with LOVE and HAPPINESS. Anybody reading this, I urge you to work towards entering the temple. Most people told me how it would be strange, symbolic or flat out weird for the first time. Nobody told me how completely happy I would feel. Last night, I think I giggled for the first time since I was little. Another big part of why last night was so special for me, was the people who were there supporting me. People from all parts of my life, who are somehow connected in the most random and opposite of ways. They fill me with love.
I am filled to the brim with LOVE.
with love, sistah b
ps, 행운 means blessed
