Chris served his mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in San Salvador, El Salvador from 2001 to 2003. We were able to visit for 10 days in August of 2008, which was an amazing experience for me. It was so fun to see where Chris served, to meet some of the wonderful individuals and families he taught, and to see the country. We were excited to hear the news that the temple there was finished and dedicated just this past August. I can just imagine the excitement of the members there. This morning I watched a short video about the dedication and the impact the new temple has had on a particular family there. I couldn't hold back the tears! It was a good start to my day and reminded me of the blessings of the temple and how grateful I am to have one (o.k., multiple ones) so close!
thanks for sharing this video! I needed to watch something like that today, and I bet your husband can't wait to go back and visit that Temple in El Salvador now. I've been missing the Temple lately because I can't go as often as I want to, even though I go as often as I can. Soon there will be a Temple in Calgary, which is further away than the Cardston Temple, but closer to my inactive sister who will hopefully see the blessings of us attending the temple as she becomes our reliable babysitter. :)
