My Temple Day

Mom, Dad, Rob, Miranda, Grandma, Chichi, Grammie, Grandpa, and I drove six hours to the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Temple for the weekend so that I could receive my endowment. It was an incredible weekend. We had a lot of fun at Reading Terminal, but nothing compares to how I felt in the Celestial Room with my family. That was also the weekend that I was going to give my last talk in church. It was supposed to be just a nice, peaceful weekend. However, on July 13, 2019, on the way back home from the temple, we received a really scary telephone call. Samantha had fallen out of a tree onto her head and had broken eight vertebrae from her neck down her spine. Heavenly Father protected her; and she was quickly taken to the Hospital in good spirits and with no pain or paralysis. We quickly drove back home to Chesapeake.
