Open House

Ty and I went to the new Draper Temples open house last night. It was great to be able to go. I looked through all the dates at the available times and they were all during work hours except for the 4th. There were 10 tickets left for the 8:40pm time slot. So we were real lucky! We parked at our designated church and watched a video. Then we loaded up on a nice bus and drove to the temple. We got out and walked through tents and right into the temple. It ws so pretty on the inside! It was so peaceful even thought there were tons and tons of people there. The chandelier in the Celestial room was breath taking. At the very end, we went into a sealing room and sat down. Then a couple talked about the importance of sealing and shared their thoughts about eternal families. It was the highlight of the tour. I came to tears many times but held them back for fear of ruining my mascara. After they were done, everyone took turns looking into the mirrors with their loved ones. That was real neat. We exited the temple and went through some more tents and ended up in a church. There they had cookies and cute little water bottles and displays of different temples from around the world. It was awesome! Then we boarded on our bus and it took us bck to the church where we started from! It was really neat how coordinated it all was. It was really different from the Bountiful temple open house that I volunteered at. So I would encourage anyone to go. It goes through the middle of March and you can get tickets at lds.org. And guess what...they're FREE!!!! You can't beat that with a stick!
(Thanks, Ty for taking me! You're a sweetie!)
