8 hours of Cookies

I recently developed an interest in cooking, and baking. I have found a magic store that has everything i could ever want to bake with....Gygi's. On Monday i went to Gygi's, and found some new toys. I got chocolate molds, and cookie molds, to make fancy desserts.

Today is the "Family Fun Night" at the elementary school near my house, and they are having a bake sale, and since my mother is the head secretary for that school, naturally she volunteers my services to make a billion cookies since i have nothing better to do. I went to Gygi's to get the supplies at 9, and didn't finish until about 5 last night, hence the 8 hours of cookies. But these are not just ordinary cookies, they are chocolate covered cookies (basically a heart attack on a stick) . And though the first 10 batches were fun, it got old after a while. But i am proud to say that i have made 120 delicious and gorgeous cookies. However my mother will be lucky if any of them make it to the school tonight.

Tuesday morning Temple trips.

Every tuesday morning i go to the temple. Today was a special experience, i went with many questions today, not really expecting answers to come, but just needing the peace that came with temple attendance. I have never had an experience like today. I went to the Jordan River temple, and as you enter the baptistry there you go into a prayer room and talk with some of the sisters serving at the temple and have a prayer. As i walked into the prayer room i was overwhelmed with the spirit. I started to cry, and the sisters waited for me to get a hold of myself. i just sat there for a minute. After i was ok the temple worker asked if i would give the prayer. I did, and again was hit with the spirit. I have never felt anything so strong before in my life. As i left the temple i felt the peace that i knew would come. I have a strong testimony of the temple. I love the temple and i know that answers do come. I know that it is the house of the lord, and there is no better place to become closer to God and our savior Jesus Christ.
