I love to see the temple...

Last week our family and some friends went to see the Oquirrh Mt. Temple. For those of you who don't know, normally the temple is only open to people who hold recommends (Which means that you have been found worthy, and met the requirements to enter the temple) That means people who aren't members of the church and small children, and many others can't go inside. But when a temple is first built, before it is dedicated as a house of the Lord on earth, it is open to the public. Anyone can get a ticket (Free of charge) go to the temple, see all of the rooms, feel the spirit that is there, and get answers to thier questions. This is one of those situations. Anyway, We went there. The kids haven't been through a temple since we were sealed as a family three years ago. I was excited to take them back, and surprised when they actually remembered things about some of thier experiences. It was beautiful and special, and we all had a good time. (And we took the opportunity to make them commit once again to being married in the temple. One more time can't hurt, right:) The darling little girl in the pictures with the kids is *S* She is in the process of being adopted by our friends, and we were excited to be able to share this experience with her.

There was a fountain at the temple that we had a doosy of a time trying to keep the kids out of, so later when we went out to dinner the plaza that the resturant was in had a huge fountain, and there was no keeping them out of that one. At first we told them to just tinkle thier feet in the water, but it wasn't long before they were all drenched. It wasn't until we were getting them out and dried off that we saw the sign asking that no one get in the fountain...oops...:)
