I am Sad.

What makes me even more sad than the temple changing, is the way people are reacting to my sadness. I love the Temple now, I think it is beautiful and I am sad to see it change. I'm not losing faith. I will not refuse to go to the Temple after it is renovated. I'm not upset that I have to travel to either Logan or Bountiful. I'm not saying that the Church is wrong for doing this. I am saying that I am sad to see something I love change. People are sad when Bishops or Stake Presidents change. People are sad when wards or stakes are rearranged. People are sad when old church buildings are torn down. People are sad when the Prophet dies and a new one is put in place. Things changing can be hard, and I feel it is okay to be sad. You can be sad when your Bishop or Stake President changes. You can be sad when ward boundaries change. I will not tell you to get over it, so please do not do that to me. I'm not offended the church is doing this to me. I am simply sad to see the Temple change. Nothing more.

Wow...great point! I think you just won everyone over to your side. You should be a debater! Hey, congrats on your wedding. I heard it was beautiful and wish I could have been there.
