Our family in Utah all went to the Draper Temple open house. We went at different times, Natalie , Jay and kids went on a day that was very busy and it took them 3 hours. John and I went on a Friday morning and it only took an hour. John and I really enjoyed the tour. The Celestial room was my favorite. Larry also got to work with security in the temple a couple of days so he got to go into more places than the rest of us. Natalie accompanied on the piano in the church building adjacent to the temple a couple of times. This is where people could write their comments or ask questions. (Everyone, members and nonmembers are invited to see inside our temples before they are dedicated) Refreshments were served and pictures and displays were put together so well. Everything about the tour was very organized, but that's how our church is, (a well oiled machine). Johns mom came up this last Friday and I was able to take her to the open house. She was glad she came and I was glad I could take her. The Temple is beautiful inside and out. We are very excited that this will now be our Temple for our area. The dedication is only a couple of weeks away. We were reminded today by our Stake President that after the dedication of the temple our Savior will be there walking those halls. That gives me goose bumps to think about it. We forget that our temples are "built unto the Lord".Our young men and young women in the church will be participating in a celebration of the Draper temple May 29Th. It will be presented in the Conference Center. I am so grateful that I can be a part of this. I will be working with the youth choir in our stake, just as a helper, not the director, but how fun is that!!! There will be dancing as well. It will be something these kids will always remember!
