Going to the temple is STILL such a blessing!!!!

A couple of weeks ago Kevin went to the temple, (unfortunately with our schedules we can rarely go together). After he went he had to drive to his work to fill out a paper. His work is just out past Hurricane on the way to Colorado City. So he drove all the way up there, and then when he got back to St.George, he stopped at Maverick on Riverside Drive. After coming out of the store he turned the corner and out of no where some guy punches him right in the face! He, obviously in complete shock, looks over to see what that was all about and he sees another guy in his car doing something. Next thing he knows that guy has his temple bag and is throwing his temple clothes all over the parking lot! The guy who had punched him is yelling horrible things about "mormons" and being really beligirent. Kevin goes over to stop the other guy from throwing his clothes and they run to their car and drive off. WOW!! The only other witness was a Maverick worker who was outside having a break. They called the police and the police man who came told him they can't really do much because they didn't have enough information. So we figure they had to have just waited for a random person to walk out of the temple to target. They had to of followed him all the way to Diamond Ranch and then back to Maverick just so they could sucker-punch him and try to make their point. Kevin's poor face was HUGE from the swelling and had quite the black eye! We are definitely in the last days, and unfortunately I think we are going to be persecuted more and more. We just have to stay strong and hold tight to the rod!!! I KNOW with all my heart that we have a Father in Heaven who loves us so much and that we just need to be obedient, regardless of worldly circumstances, in order to gain our eternal salvation!!! Going to the temple is such a blessing!!! Nobody is going to take that away from us!!
