Since we have lived in Utah...(which is approaching 5 years now!) , we have had a tradition of heading up to Salt Lake City to see the lights at Temple Square. It is always so beautiful, and uplifting. This year we met our friends, Malu and Briony Fakatou and their two children, Teisa and Alisi. The girl's loved running around together, and we enjoyed catching up with old friends from good old BYU-Hawaii.
We got to the temple just minutes before the visitor's center closed. Luckily we were able to still go inside and see the Christus statue, as the girl's REALLY wanted to see it. Kea even whispered ..."is it real mommy?" This is Teisa, Kea, Nani, and little Alisi. It makes me happy to give my children a chance to really see the true purpose of Christmas and to feel the sweet spirit that exhists in holy places like Temple Square.
This is Nani and Teisa with a friend of Cody's from the MTC, Sister Nock. It was fun to run into someone who we had a connection with...even if it is a tiny one. That is one of the greatest things about the gospel. It really does make the world so small.
Another family shot of the temple from the other side. :) We hope all of you have a chance to focus on the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ and the love He has for all of us.
