"And if it so be that the children of men keep the commandments of God he doth nourish them, and strengthen them, and provide means whereby they can accomplish the thing which he has commanded them" (1 Nephi 17:3).
Today it was confirmed to me how much God really does love me, and that He is always listening and willing to provide blessings for our righteous desires.

So my story today is about a rather spontaneous, yet perfectly timed trip to the temple, and the blessings that made it happen, and made it a delight.

I have been wanting to do an Endowment Session for a while now, but I'm new and haven't done one all alone, so I sort of put it off and do other work instead usually. But today I was determined to do a session, whether I found another girl to go with or not.
So then I just had to address my other issue: transportation. It's rather stormy, so walking (which included the city bus because half of the route is walking from bus stop to the location) was out of the question for me. In contemplating, I thought I might text some of my neighbors to see if any of a particular apartment were planning on going to the temple in the course of the day...but it was getting late in the afternoon, and I wasn't sure if any of them would actually be free. That's when my roommate leaves for a study session, and yells to me as I'm waving goodbye that one of the guys from that apartment was dressed nicely, and out by his car. I jumped on the chance to ask if he was going to the temple, and he said he was. So I pleaded to go with him, to which he answered, "Of course!"
I ran back to my apartment, through on a dress, quickly talked to another roommate, and dashed out the door.
Remember how I've been determined to do a session, but a bit nervous without any help? Well, I've walked through many scenarios of what could happen and how I would handle going all by myself, and one of the thoughts that came to my mind was how crazy it would be if I ran into my new bishop's wife in the temple and had her guide me through some things, and how nice that would be if I could run into someone like that. And guess what?? As my friend and I sat in the chapel, IN WALKS THE BISHOP'S WIFE. So of course he came in a minute later, and we were able to wave them over, and I introduced myself. I was blessed to sit by her through the session, and even talk to her briefly afterwards in the dressing room.

What I'm trying to show, is that both of my prayers and desires concerning the temple were fulfilled, and I think that's definitely because I had righteous desires to do that missionary work I'm commanded to help with, and God loves me so much as to provide a comforting and easy way for that work to happen.

The things of the temple are blessed, and bring ultimate joy. Strive your hardest to attend the temple and feel of those peaceful and beautiful things constantly! Heavenly Father loves you, and wants to bless you in your righteous desires, specifically those that align with His will in bringing others unto Him.

I hate to break it to you, but Disneyland is not the happiest place on Earth--the temple of the Lord is.
