I finally sealed my mother and stepdad in the San Diego temple on Tuesday night. I had been putting this off for a while since I wasn't sure it was something my mom would want.
Monday night I reminded myself to take their names and put them in my purse but somehow with my crazy life I forgot.
I left work at 5:30 to rush home and get the names and be at the SD temple by 7. I wanted to stop off and make sure the names were good to go so I knew I was cutting it close.
I arrived there and the lady at the recorders office was kind enough to look that they were good to go. It took a lot longer and some other names I had I had to put on hold so I have some work to do.
I got a stomach ache prior to doing the sealings but as we did the ordinance I felt an incredible feeling of peace and calmness. I even started tearing up.
I was also grateful that Brother William Lewis was the sealer and he is also the architect of the temple. I have the opportunity to work with him sometimes at the temple so I was grateful to have him do this.
I had posted on FB about the incredible experience I had that night and someone asked if it was coming to a blog near me. So here I am. I will clarify more about sealings ( I think I have explained on a previous post) and why I was not sure about doing this for my parents.
