Walk to the Temple

Earlier this year the young women leaders in our ward thought it would be a great experience for the girls to make the long trek from our ward chapel to the Brisbane Temple. They had heard stories based on the Stonecutter (who had walked a long distance to work each morning to work on the temple.) of girls who had done similar things. So after much planning and training, the girls set out on their 5 hour trek to the temple. During that week Eryn had hurt her knee. She was so worried about how she would go. With the help of a knee support bandage and a blessing from her Dad, she made the very long trek to the house of the Lord. Dan and I were not at the temple, but further up the road cooking lunch for the girls, so we never got to actually see them arrive at the temple. But when they made it to the park up the road, they were absolutely exhausted. I am so proud of Eryn and what she did. I hope it will help her in the future to realise what a great blessing it is to have the temple within walking distance!
