Temple Blessings

Since I had surgery two and a half weeks ago I have been recuperating at home.
Today, however I was able to go to the Temple again.  Each week, as I go to the temple
I feel peace and I feel my Savior's love.  Today as I again entered the beautiful rooms
I felt so happy to be back.  One blessing in particular I received while I was in the temple, is that I will
be completely healed from my Nephrectomy (kidney removal)  and that my remaining kidney will
be healthy throughout my life.

Day Before Surgery

Well I am quite nervous but at the same time I feel peace that everything will turn out well with my surgery.
I will have my kidney removed tomorrow (Nephrectomy).  I was given a priesthood blessing by our Stake
President, President Neilson,  and I was promised that I would recover and that in fact I would later find
out that the surgery would save my life.

Since that blessing, I have found out that if I were to leave the kidney in and then if I were to get
hit hard in that area or be involved in an accident, I could bleed to death.
I do know that I must go through with this surgery and I will be so glad when this next week is over :)
