Gilbert temple tour

It's not very often in a lifetime that you get to wear these cute little booties and walk through a building as special as this one.

 

Isabel had it right when after using one of the bathrooms she commented, "Even the toilets flush reverently."

 

 

The architect is in our ward so he did a fireside on the construction of the temple.  He also talked about the agave plant and its symbolism throughout this beautiful structure.

 

 

How awesome is it that we live in a day when there are so many new temples being constructed?  I'm so glad our children got this experience.  I remember the first time I went through an undedicated temple.  I was so excited I made my mom buy me a journal so I could write about it. I've been busy looking for journals for my boys.  After their experience they asked me for one too.

The lines were long but it was so worth it.  I want my kids to know that amazing things can happen in this place.  It may not be easy to different from the rest of the world in order to be able to enter this holy temple but it will be so worth it.

 

Even on our temple trip DJ still had to throw in a shenanigan.  That was the temple tour ticket.  We had to turn that in.  DJ you crack me up!
