Exactly one year ago today, I went through the Los Angeles Temple to receive my endowments. I remember being extremely nervous, since I'd had friends go through the temple and say that it was very overwhelming at first. A lot of people gave me the advice to not worry about remembering everything, but to focus on how I felt and the Spirit. I'm really grateful I listened!
Along with receiving my endowments, going through the temple meant that I would now wear garments under my clothing. This was a very special and important step towards being ready to be married in the temple, and also because this meant that I was progressing closer to Heavenly Father and understanding what He wants for me. Wearing these garments has helped me to remember my temple covenants daily, and to strive to live a modest life physically as well as spiritually.
I'm so grateful that I was able to go through the temple when I did, and that I had the experiences that I was blessed with: both my mom and dad were able to come with me, and I was endowed in the same temple that each of them were, the same temple they were married in, and the temple that a little over a week later Jake and I would be sealed in. The Los Angeles Temple will always hold a special place in my heart!
