Brooke is helping build the new temple!


Brooke has been earning pennies for a while now. I decided that every fast Sunday she will pay her tithing. We are taking progressive pictures of the temple being built so that she will understand that it is "new" and "special." She knows that some of her money has to go to Heavenly Father and that it is helping build the new temple! She was SO excited to pay her tithing last Sunday. She kept it in a bag in her room and then took it in her purse to church. After church we excitedly ran to the bishop and when we got there her excitement turned to confusion. "Why is he taking my money?" "No, I earned that!" "Hey! That's mine!" But I reminded her that the bishop was going to give it to Heavenly Father and that it was going to help build the temple. She seemed a bit eased by this but still not sure. It was fun and memorable.

Oh that is too adorable! She's so cute! What a fun memory to share with her when she is old enough to understand what the Temple is and that she helped pay for it.
