Touching the Temple

Carl read an article once about teaching the importance of the temple to toddlers. For Family Home Evening last week, he taught us about temples and told us the story of President Kimball who said that having young children actually touch the temple itself would make a significant impact on them and that they would remember it. By touching the temple, we invite the temple to touch us and our lives. During the week, we dressed up and headed to the Fresno Temple. How blessed we are to have a temple so close! We feel equally blessed to be headed to a place that also has a temple.

What a nice idea, thanks for sharing. I love the photos of your men. :) I have two boys too and I LOVE it!

We will be moving to your side of town sometime this summer! Too bad you will be gone.

Great FHE idea. Never thought of children touching the temple, but it makes lots of sense.
