Individually

There are so many things you can learn from the temple. 

I read, well skimmed, through a book that a couple who used to be a temple president and matron of the Salt Lake Temple wrote. 

In that book, they gave one example: Heavenly Father loves us each individually. 

In doing baptisms, it would really be much more efficient to name 50 or even 100 names, and then be immersed for those people, but no, each person for whom we are being baptized for is baptized individually. 

That is true of all the ordinances of the temple! Each ordinance is done separately. 

How cool is that? 

It really shows that we are all unique and loved individually to our Heavenly Father; he loves each and EVERY one of us!
