Forever Family



Last week Jasper was sealed to us in the Jordan River Temple.





To be sealed, or a temple sealing, is a sacred ordinance performed in a temple. Children can be sealed to their parents, with the expectation that the entire family structure can endure through this life and extend into the hereafter.





The sweet ladies who volunteer in the temple nursery - where Jasper and Jackson waited before the sealing - gave them these sheets before they left.




We are truly blessed.

Oh Wow, I bet that was a truly wonderful day! What a blessing you are in Jasper's life. You inspire me! I have been to a family sealing. It is so special! I am sure it will be something all of you will always treasure. Try to get Jasper to write what he remembers in a journal. He will appreciate having that later. I am very happy for you.
