Youth Temple Trip South Carolina Temple

Youth temple trips are always pretty special and amazing! We also get to know the youth a little bit better on these trips! Our temple is a little less than 2 hours away. Not great but not bad either! I definitely miss being 20 minutes away from the temple like we were in St. Louis and I'm grateful that we do not have to travel 2.5 hours to the Boston Temple when we lived in NY! So count your blessings each time you  have them but always so grateful that there is a temple nearby where ever we live!

In our other wards we had always been so careful and cautious not to add undue stress or cost to families pertaining to money for food after. But, I was told we did not have to worry about families in this ward. I think extra money out of pocket should always be a concern.

After the temple we just went our separate ways. I like the youth to gather briefly and share if they had any special experiences, especially if they happen to be fresh in their minds! The youth seem to transform when they are all in white. I truly love to see them in the temple!

I love serving and doing ordinances. It is such a blessing and wonderful service to do.

YOUTH Temple Trip- Columbia SC Temple

Bill and I both chaperoned another youth temple trip! what a great an amazing experience to be at the temple but to be at the temple with the youth! I loved it. We have to travel about two hours so the moments are different. We stopped to eat after the temple. I would like to see it more connective between each other. Maybe, we could gather outside the temple briefly for a brief testimony meeting for anyone who may have had a special experience and wanted to share or just gather for a small moment of breath before we rush back in the car and on our way home again.  I think it would be nice.
