The Temple...for the First Time...How Sweet!

Dominique turned 12 last week. I can't believe she is in Young Women now. My baby!...is not longer a baby anymore...I feel nostalgic to see her growing. I wish I could stop the time so I can always have her by my side, to protect and love her...however I'm glad to know that God has a better plan than mine for her  = )
She was so happy because the Beehives were gonna go to the Temple to do baptism for the dead today. She couldn't wait to be there!...She was excited and anxious. Sarah came to pick her up and together they went to Sister Johnson's house to meet with everybody else. I went to see  if I could  go with them. Sister Johnson told me it was a great idea so I went with them. I tried to keep myself away from the group so Dominique wouldn't feel that she had to be with me and not with her friends. The Temple was full. They were so many kids doing and waiting to do baptisms. It took a while for them to take their turn. It was kind of a bummer that I couldn't wait because I had to picked up Kyle from work so I had to leave before I could see Dominique going into the water. She stayed with her friends in the chapel until they call for our ward to go. When I told her I gotta go I look at her and her face was glowing she was so happy, she looked so peaceful, she looked so beautiful all dress in white...and I was happy for her. I knew she was never gonna forget her feeling of that moment  in such a beautiful place like the Temple, the House of the Lord. When  she came home she ran to her room to write on her journal about her feelings and the love she felt from Heavenly father for her. She knew she was in the right place that day to do God's work. I love my baby...I know she is growing, but she will be always my baby!
