“Sealed in the Temple,” Friend, Oct. 1977, 35

Sealed in the Temple

I liked the story in the April 1977 Friend called “A Better Way,” and I would like to tell about the missionary experience our family had.

When I was eight years old, we moved to Fountain Valley, California. Since we had some friends who were Mormons, Mom and Dad wanted to learn about the gospel. So when the missionaries knocked on our door, Mom asked them to come back that night when Dad was home. They did. The feeling was so good that evening that we asked the missionaries to return.

Later on Mom, Dad, and I were baptized, and a few weeks later my little sisters were blessed. Then my older sister was baptized. A year later my dad died of cancer. About a year after his death our family was sealed together in the temple.

I am really thankful that we have the gospel in our home.
