Cecilia, a beautiful young woman, received her own endowment tonight. She is only 21 and young for such a step. However, she has been wanting to do it for several years and with the blessing of her family and church leaders she came. She was well prepared and had a great experience. As the family was leaving her mother told us the following story.
When she found out she was pregnant with a 4th child ( 4 is a lot for Denmark) she was so unhappy and went to the temple in Stockholm in tears. Before she went, her husband gave her a blessing and said she would have a special temple experience. As she was sitting in the temple, Cecilia appears to her as a young girl and said "Mother, don't you want me to come to you?" She was immediately comforted and filled with a sweet peace and said , "Yes, of course." So all through the pregnancy she knew she was having a third daughter who it appears has come with a very special spirit.
I love all the stories. Such a great way to document the history of the church in Denmark and to build testimonies.
