In all honesty, I don't have a lot of words today.
It's has been one year today since I lost my mom and dad.
It has been a year of struggles and also a year of blessings.
Many of which have come because of temples.
This video, however, says what I wish I could tell you all:
"Why are so many willing to give so much in order to receive the blessings of the temple? Those who understand the eternal blessings which come from the temple know that no sacrifice is too great, no price too heavy, no struggle too difficult in order to receive those blessings. There are never too many miles to travel, too many obstacles to overcome, or too much discomfort to endure. They understand that the saving ordinances received in the temple that permit us to someday return to our Heavenly Father in an eternal family relationship and to be endowed with blessings and power from on high are worth every sacrifice and every effort."

I add my witness to President Monson's. Attending the Temple is worth every sacrifice. It is where we can feel close to God and find peace, guidance and purpose in our lives. Most importantly it is where we become Families that will last forever. I cannot express accurately what it means to me that my mother and father were married in the temple. I cannot to say enough about the greatest gift they ever gave to my sisters and I! Please, if not for yourself, go to temple and bless your family forever!
I testify that the temple is the House of God, that by attending you will find immeasurable blessings, to be forever with those we love, and to find the strength we need to make it through the trails of this life.
I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
