I love to see the temple....

Wow, so I have just realized that my first two posts and my only posts so far are primary songs! How funny. So, October 17th has gone down in Chauntelle's book of life as a HUGE milestone. I went through the temple and took my endowments out!!! The day before, the 16th, was my 21st birthday! Which, by the way was a BLAST!!! Thanks to all my friends for making it so great! Anyways, that night it hit me that I was going to be going to the temple and so I didn't want to go to sleep! Lucky for me I have two great friends Brady and Gary who stayed up with me until like 2 and then Brady couldn't handle it (psh, what a girl! jk! Love ya B!) but Gary and I stayed up until like 4 just sitting there talking. The next morning went by super fast and before I knew it I was at the temple! The next 4 hours flew by even faster than the morning had. It was such a great experience and the spirit was so strong! I had a ton of people there to support me. (Thanks guys! You're all the greatest!) Anyways, obviously I can't really say much about the temple because it is so sacred, but it was so amazing! I have gone back every week since then and it is crazy how much more you understand and catch on to with every visit. I am going to be so sad when I am not able to go in Portugal! (The closest temple is in Spain...)
