Brigham at the Temple

In preparation for his mission Brigham went to the Timpanogos Temple on Friday.  It is always special when family is there to support you at such a special time.  I found this explanation of the endowment on the Church website.  "The word endowment means "gift," and your temple endowment is a special gift of knowledge and power that God gives to those who are ready to receive it.  It is an ordinance needed to return to God's presence.  As part of this ordinance, you are taught more about the plan of salvation, the mission and Atonement of Jesus Christ, the love Heavenly Father has for His children, and your divine potential.  The covenants you make during the endowment focus on how you can become more like Jesus Christ."  The time is fast approaching that Brigham will begin his missionary service.  The temple is a great place to get ready for such an important assignment.
