Temple Project

For my religion class, I need to spend an hour a week on a project, and I chose to go to the temple. Here are weekly updates:

WEEK 1: 9/13 - Service with no time

This week, I pondered how I can best serve others with my very limited time. One thing that came to me is I need to stop wasting so much time. I haven't been able to do much this week because I've just been so busy with my homework and work and life in general. Looking back, I threw away multiple opportunities to serve because I had to work on homework. This weekend I made it a point to get ahead on homework so that, when given opportunities to help and serve, I can happily take that opportunity and not shirk other responsibilities I may have.




WEEK 2: 9/20 - Love and appreciate all

Life is good! I have a lot going on at school, but I'm keeping up, and I'm honestly happier than I've ever been during the semester. What a time!

I have a goal to love and appreciate everyone I can. In the temple, I made a goal to make it an effort to verbally appreciate everyone I talk to this week. 

Ran into my pal Brantleigh at the temple!



WEEK 3: 9/27 -

looked for family names & organized tree for an hour 

WEEK 4: 10/4 - conference!

indexed for an hour - I didn't realize the temple would be closed for general conference until it was too late (planning on going Saturday)

WEEK 5: 10/11 -



WEEK 6: 10/18 - Make time

This is the first time I was able to make it to the temple for almost a month, and honestly why? I could walk to the temple in 20 minutes or drive to 2 different temples in 5 minutes.



I went with my sister (Emily) her boyfriend Drew, and my cousin Mary. It was really good! I was a witness in the baptistry for the first time. It was crazy! I felt the love of those who were being baptized at the time. Amazing! I really love the temple and I really need to make the time. I'm so busy, and it takes 1-3 hours out of my schedule, but really, it makes such a difference. I'm going through the temple in ~9 weeks and I want to go to the temple at least 7 times before that. It's a real goal.

WEEK 7: 10/25 

no smart hour

WEEK 8: 11/1

WEEK 9: 11/8




WEEK 10: 11/15


WEEK 11: 11/22


WEEK 12: 11/29

11/16 Alma 1: read in temple Alma 2: read in temple Alma 3: read in temple 11/17: Alma 4: Year 6 of judged: Peaceful, but sad for lost -- Year 7: baptisms -- Year 8: contention & pride -- Year 9: trying to calm contentions Alma 5: Alma the younger testifies and recounts his father's story - repent! - the holy ghost reveals much - stop being so prideful! 17 Or do ye a imagine to yourselves that ye can lie unto the Lord in that day, and b say —Lord, our works have been righteous works upon the face of the earth—and that he will save you? 18 Or otherwise, can ye imagine yourselves brought before the tribunal of God with your souls filled with guilt and remorse, having a remembrance of all your guilt, yea, a perfect a remembrance of all your wickedness, yea, a remembrance that ye have set at defiance the commandments of God? 19 I say unto you, can ye look up to God at that day with a pure heart and clean hands? I say unto you, can you look up, having the a im...

1 Nephi (9/9-9/28)

Here's some thoughts about 1 Nephi :-) 9/9/19:  Chapter 1 - Nephi is such a good dude. He was born to good, righteous parents and despite his trials and brothers picking on him, he still has a stronger testimony than I'll ever have. (1 Nephi 20)  9/10/19:  Chapter 2 - What kind of faith did Lehi have to have to leave everything but his family, and take off to live in the wilderness? Murmuring cannot coexist with truly knowing God. 9/11/19:  Chapter 3 - Again, what kind of faith did Nephi have to just say, I will go and do whatever is needed because I know the Lord will always be there for me. Even after being chased out of the kingdom? Dang boy 9/12/19:  Chapter 4 - Nephi is such a good missionary. He followed the holy ghost to kill Laban and get the plates and then listened to that holy ghost to convince Zoram to join him and his brothers. What a guy. 9/13/19:  Chapter 5 - I think Sariah gets a bad rap at this point. The way I'v...
