Through the Fog

A couple of conferences ago, one of the brethren talked about how we are really never lost when we can see the temple.  Well what happens when you can't see the temple?

Such was our experience in our trip to the Logan temple.  We found ourselves arriving in Logan in a dense fog, not knowing where the temple was in ideal conditions, let alone in foggy conditions.  We were assured that "you can't miss it".  Well, we were pretty sure that you can and luckily we didn't.  Following Melissa's instructions to "turn right" proved to be the smartest thing I did all trip.  We found the temple without much difficulty but learned a lesson in the process.

As we made the decision to "turn right" we were unsure of what we were doing but as we looked through the fog we could scarcely make out the temple.  We kept driving in the direction of the temple until it came into full view.  I learned that what happens in the temple and what we are taught within those walls helps us see through the "fog" that life sometimes is.  When we keep covenants, we are able to see right from wrong and what direction to head.  The more faithful and consistent we are in keeping those covenants, the clearer that things come into view.  This was the lesson I learned that "clearly" taught me something I hope we never forget.
