Lately I’ve been scribbling notes after and during church because people have said so many things that have moved me and made me think. And since church is a time…
It’s so funny to think about how much anticipation we built up to talk to Max while he was out there on his mission. We based so much around those…
I talked about my most favorite gifts I gave for Christmas (back HERE), but here is my most favorite gift I received. Dave got me this most beautiful painting from…
Someone told me about this talk a couple weeks ago and we used it for our Family Home Evening lesson this afternoon. It is so good. So I wanted to…
This is a post about both of those things up there…totally separate, yet intertwined this last weekend. When we lived in China there were some pretty great people who looked…
Tomorrow is December 1st. And I am so excited because that means THIS (below) is kicking off: (You may have noticed that little red box on the right side of…
That went up so fast it seems! What a beautiful place of worship and wonderful memories for your children.
How funny. My post was also entitled "Once upon a time" today.
Great post!
Beautiful temple! Amazing it is almost done. We are still waiting for even the ground to be broken on our dear Philadelphia temple. We'll keep on praying!
I loved the way you worded this post.
My sis in law called me while her and her two kids sat and watched the Angel Moroni be placed on top. It is really to hear you were their too. I love the photos you took.
Reminds me of the Calgary Temple getting their Angel Moroni on top not to many months ago.
Love your story-telling. Such a blessing to be a part of a new temple.
I was there too with my baby girl who is only a year old. She was not thrilled to be out in the hot sun and was not very appreciative of the amazing historical moment she was witnessing. But one day I will tell her about it and show her the pictures and I hope that she will always see that temple as her temple. SO special!
I still remember the day that the angel Moroni went up on the Raleigh temple…
My husband and i went to the park right next to the temple and just sat and stared at it in wonder. its beautiful! and thank you for sharing, because we are never in that part of town and even though i missed the actual event i feel like i was there!
We just dedicated our new temple in Kansas City and we are so thrilled to have it here. We don't have to make the 4 hour trip to St. Louis anymore. What a blessing temples are in our life! I'm so glad you are getting one close to you.
Your first "Once upon a time" post inspired me to do the same thing here in Kansas City for our temple.
It was dedicated last month. Now I love seeing all the photos from the ground breaking to the dedication – and we even added a baby to the family along the way!
We were there too! It was such a neat thing to see. My little boy gets sooooo excited now every time we drive by or he thinks about it.
Lovely event. My son and I were able to go there and get some pictures about an hour after the statue was installed. It was still wonderful to see. Looking forward to the completion!
I recently heard that Mormon temples are open to public viewing before being dedicated. Is this true? If so, I would love to come and see such a beautiful place.
Beautiful! THAT is a date she will never forget!
When the angel Moroni was placed at the Portland temple I was a young teenager…it was a magical moment. Be sure this moment will be one your daughter won't soon forget.
I love the testimony on the rocks. I didn't know they did that. A temple truly built on the faith of others.
