Finally after weeks and weeks it was finally temple month so we were able to go to the temple this morning. And can I just say that NOTHING beats the peace you feel in the temple. The overwhelming sense of "life is ok" is SO calming!
I don't know HOW people could have lived on this Earth for so long without going to the temple! Or how people live TODAY, with all the trials and turmoil around them, without being able to escape, even for just a few hours, to the temple.
They are truly houses of God and are a place for higher worship! They allow you to perform sacred and loving service on behalf of close or distant relatives and that alone provides a great sense of happiness and joy because you always feel like that when you serve others. So when you add on the fact that this service is performed in the House of God...your feeling of love and peace and calm and tranquility is almost indescribable.
Because, it's not something you necessarily feel like in the stories in the Book of Mormon where people are so overcome with the spirit that they fall to the Earth with exhaustion. But it's a small and quiet feeling and when you just sit and analyze how to feel, you realize, "Hey, I feel pretty good! I feel so comfortable and all cozy! Like I could snuggle up on this couch for 10 hours and be happy! I feel so great!"

That "comfortable" and "cozy" feeling IS the spirit, and if you follow that feeling and make all decisions with the reassurance that you feel "comfortable" and 'at peace" then you will never go wrong!
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint is true.
To find out more about the temple, talk to the missionaries!
Work hard! Pray always! Love ya!
