Eternal Families

A lot has happened in the past three weeks. My sister and best friend Riess got married. I was able to grow especially closer to my sister throughout the week by watching her enjoy 3 bridal showers, get her beautiful bridals taken, recieve her endowment, and have fun as sisters the night before giving eachother pedicures and manicures. I love my sister so much and she is such an example of mercy, love and charity. I was blessed to witness her eternal sealing to Sean and what a reminder it was for Tyson and I of our own sealing. This week has strengthened my testimony of eternal families so much. My sister is starting her own eternal family while my grandma who passed away on Saturday October 17th, has made it possible for each of us to see her once again because she too has been sealed to her family. Although she will be missed terribly, this has brought me such comfort to know that I can see my grandma again. My grandma is such an example to me of a women that loved unconditionally and served willingly. I hope to be just like her throughout my life and to continue our family heritage of eternal families. I starting to cry pretty hard when I saw my grandma dressed in her temple clothes during the viewing. I wondered when the next time would be that I would have a conversation with my grandma. Tyson was holding Teagan right next to me and she looked down at me and with those big eyes she told me that I too would die one day and be with grandma and Heavenly Father again. I needed to hear that from my little girl and that gave me a reassurance and peace of the plan of salvation.
