October 18, 2011:
Yesterday we got to spend another sacred day in the presence of a divine being. In the morning, Tyler's parents visited with sweet Hope, so I was able to get some university work done.
Just after noon, Caeli and Tyler picked me up to go to Temple Square. First we walked around the temple grounds soaking in the wonderful spirit inspired by the temple. An older sister missionary approached us to ask about Hope. When she saw how tiny Hope was, she asked her age and wondered if she was a premie. (That is what all the people in Temple Square thought when they saw her. Hope probably weighs 4 pounds or less now.) When Caeli told her that Hope was sick, the sister suddenly realized that she was in the presence of a sacred spirit. Her eyes filled with tears of joy as she expressed her awe.
