We Love To See The Temple


We attended the Draper Temple Open House a week ago as a family. It was so beautiful! Because Brayden isn't able to walk long distances and feels more comfortable in a more confined space, we parked at the temple and borrowed one of their wheelchairs. He did really well that way, and we found ourselves skipping parts of the line because we had to use the elevator.

We had a bit of a hard time in the sealing room because Brayden didn't want to stop his 'ride'. It was hard for him to sit and listen to the guides tell everyone about the beautiful mirrors, but I'm so glad we were all there together.

Earl and I attended the Mount Timpanogos Temple open house when I was pregnant with Spencer and it really means so much to me that we were able to attend this one with all of our kids. We might not have been the most reverent group in the sealing room, but we were together. Brayden is so close to the spirit, I just couldn't see us going without him.

Now we are waiting for the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house. Our kids are so lucky to be able to attend these events!
