la casa del señor

there are few things that can bring you
back to the mission field after you have left.
a physical visit might bring back memories.
but there is something about seeing pictures
of converts and less active members of the church
that you and your companion labored and prayed
for and with that brings those moments back
in full emotional force.

but i think one of the most bittersweet moments
is seeing pictures of these people entering
la casa del señor

to give you a little background,
in order to enter a normal sunday service
with the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints
there are no restrictions.
all visitors are welcome.

but in order to enter the temple,
one must meet certain criteria
and be worthy to enter his sacred house.
and as someone who has been inside that house,
i want everyone i meet to be able to go inside
and be apart of the blessings and spirit
that is always there.

thanks to technology, it's become easy
to see pictures of people going to the temple,
dedicating time and incredible efforts
in order to attend the temple. 
it's become easy to share in these
beautiful and incredible moments.

the smiles
the tears
the prayers
the blistering days and
soaking nights.

they were all worth it,
just to see them there at
la casa del señor.
