I was so shocked when I heard that Star Valley was getting a temple! Most of you know that Star Valley is Tyler and I's home town! We love Star Valley, and now it is going to be even better! The announcement of this temple came at a special time for us, since Tyler is getting out of the Air Force at the beginning of the year and we have decided to move back to Star Valley; we are so excited to be able to be apart of the whole process. Many people have dreamed for a temple in Star Valley for a long time, but never imagined that it would really happen because our valley is not that big. What we learn from this announcement is that the Lord does not work by our human opinion of reality and logic; he works in his own mysterious and wonderful ways. Tyler and I have always dreamed big, and now that we are getting out of the Air Force, we hope to make some of those dreams come true. For us, the Star Valley temple is a symbol that dreams do come true. There have been very knowledgeable people in the valley that have "wisely" said, "Star Valley will never get a temple," just as there are "wise" and "experienced" people out there that try to discourage you from going after your dreams, but it's not about them; it's about you and the Lord, and I believe the Lord wants us to make dreams come true!
