Draper Temple Open House

Melissa, Joseph and I went to the Draper Temple open house. Hyrum went to Grandma's


I was a good experience to take Joseph to the Temple. He has always loved the temple since the time Melissa was pregnant with him. In getting ready to go we explained to Joseph that the Temple in the Heavenly Father's house. When we were in the Celestial room He kept asking "Can go see Jesus now?"

They had cookies and water at the stake center next door



Lookin around to make sure the way is clear

We are excited to take Hyrum to the Oquirrh Mountain temple June 1st, through Saturday, Aug. 1st,
"Temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are sacred structures in which these and other eternal questions are answered. Each is dedicated as a house of the Lord, a place of holiness and peace shut apart from the world. There truths are taught and ordinances are performed that bring knowledge of things eternal and motivate the participants to live with an understanding of our divine inheritance as children of God and an awareness of our potential as eternal beings."

-President Gordon B. Hinckley
