Visiting Mormon temples with my children

Today we traveled from Orem to South Jordan and then to Salt Lake City with the purpose of visiting and performing service in two of the Temples of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Why did we go to two temples? Was not one enough? My youngest daughter had never been in those temples and so we decided to use it as an excuse for a short trip, adding a little bit of variety to the work.

Also, it seemed a good opportunity to stay together as a family working in favor of those who have already passed to the other side of the veil (that for Mormons simply means those who have already died).
It was a wonderful experience and I am glad that I am sharing it with my children so that they may learn since a young age to experience the blessings and the wonderful feeling of working in the temples.
Moreover, I do not want to find myself in the situation of someone who once spoke in a General Conference and recognized that he had never spent time with his kids in the temples, while he had spent plenty of it watching football games. To go to football games may be a bonding activity with our children, but if I need to choose, I prefer to go to the temple with them.
