GOING TO THE TEMPLE WITH NICOLE

Nicole, Our Niece, went through the temple for the first time yesterday. 

(3rd Feb 2012)

Nicole is a very special person to all of us,  the kids absolutely adore her 

and always ask for her as a babysitter as she does such cool things 

with them and shows such interest in them.  

I love Nicole as she is so thoughtful, caring and very Intelligent too!

I spoke at her baptism when she was eight and will never forget that special day.

When Terina was born in Taumarunui, my mum, who was there waiting for 

Terina to be born, had to rush home as her sister was very sick and she was

told she had a matter of hours to live.  So we called Nicole and asked her to

come down.  She jumped on the over night train but she missed Terina's  

home birth by 4 hours,  however she was with us helping out for the first

week of Terina's life and was the first extended whanau member Terina met.

To this day, Terina loves her to bits and so do we all!

We only go to the temple when we are mature enough to understand the sacred

nature of the temple.  You usually only go into the temple for the first time 

before  you get married or go on a mission.

We are so excited for Nicole as she is going on a mission to the Philippines in April.

I went on a mission so I am totally all for it,  I know she will have the most

spiritually uplifting time she has ever had as she serves others and her god!

Kia Kaha our special Niece, we love you!
