'Oku ou fie sio ki he temipale... :)

That's "I love to see the temple" in Tongan.  Ever since Dad translated that song and we had to sing it on TV and a million other times (radio, etc), whenever I hear that tune I start singing it in Tongan.  I love it.  I love how much we were able to go to the temple in Tonga, and what a special experience I had there.

This week, I had the chance to go to the Recife Temple.  It was beautiful.  I'm not sure how I could possibly do it justice.  Suffice to say it's been way too long since I went to the temple (I really should take better advantage of living so close to the Provo temple), and I loved it.  It felt so good.

The Temple president spoke to us, and I didn't understand even close to everything, but I did understand some things.  More importantly though, I felt the spirit.  I love the temple.  I love how beautiful and simple and clean everything feels inside.

Does this look like a google picture?  Because it's not.  I really took this.  And that's really how gorgeous it was.

Me and my roommate, Shawndeen :)

"Oh it is wonderful, wonderful to me."
