This has always been my favorite temple, along with every
other Mormon girl. I've always wanted to see it in real life though. We were
driving and boom, there it was right off the highway. It is BEAUTIFUL! We
stopped by to see it the next day on the way to some beaches. It is incredible
and so majestic. I just walked around for a while taking pictures. Then I
stopped and talked with a senior missionary couple. They were so great and
showed me a lot of pictures of the interior, including a garden that is open to
the air on top of the temple but is surrounded by glass inside. He was also
telling me about the architecture and the entire temple is fashioned in 2
squares. It also happens to be the seal of Melchizedek (see website http://www.templestudy.com/2008/09/11/the-seal-of-melchizedek-part-4/).
Anyway, it is the most beautiful temple I've ever seen and I hope to go inside
someday when I’m endowed!

Another view of the top, the flower looking thing is the garden open to the top
You can also see the pattern in the glass, so beautiful!
How neat that you got to visit there. It is such a gorgeous temple and I hope to go there someday.
ReplyDeleteIn case you are interested, if you ever want to look at pictures of church temples, you can visit the site: http://www.ldschurchtemples.com It even has construction status of temples being built. I go to that website often and thought you might like to too.
