Dear Brother Ken,
After our visit on Tuesday evening, I’ve had a feeling settle on my heart that I feel I need to share with you.
If I remember right, you shared with me some time ago that you didn’t feel you could, or even should, attend the temple without Lori. And with her health condition such, it has caused you to not attend personally for over a year.
I feel to tell you that is not what the Lord would have you do. It’s a wonderful gesture of loyalty, but it’s not the right approach.
You and she both need the blessings of the temple in your home. She is unable to receive them unless you go to the temple and, in essence, bring those blessings home to her through your regular attendance.
Please look at temple attendance as not abandoning your wife, but on an errand for the Lord to lift and bless her—especially at a time when she desperately needs the Lord's blessings. As you exercise your faith through temple attendance, you will see the same miracles you both have acknowledged when you give and she transcribes a patriarchal blessing.
I hope this doesn’t offend. I love you both and am so grateful for your mighty—though lonely—service. You are a giant in our stake, for which we are all most grateful.
President Lewis
