Draper Temple

Monday we had the opportunity to attend the open house for the Draper Temple. It was so neat to be able to take all of our kids and be able to give them a glimpse of the beauty and more importantly the peace that is found inside the temple walls. We began at a church in Draper where we saw a short movie about temple and then we loaded a bus and headed up the hill. The temple was beautiful. The beautiful wood and subtle floral motif were stunning, and of course all of the touching paintings.
It was a touching experience for me to sit with my entire family in the sealing room, take a few moments to look in the mirrors and reflect on out eternal family. No where else in the world brings into focus the things that are the most important like the temple.

That is such a neat experience for you all. I hope to take my kids there one day... maybe when I don't have a two-year-old. :)
