The whole reason we were able to pull in 6 families from more than 3,000 miles is this.
The first grandchild was getting married, and he and his wife-to-be decided to get married here, in the temple. We believe that there is a scared sealing power in the temple that can tie a family together for eternity. It just doesn't make sense that something you worked so hard on for your whole life would just be gone when you die. We believe that families are forever.
One of the things we did at the reunion (or rather, as we were traveling to it) was to take pictures of your family in front of any temple you passed.
All together, I think we got pictures of 14 different temples.
It was fun to see the different families as they sent in their pictures. We went out of our way to be at the temples, but it wasn't a trouble.
Because really, this is all worth it.
