Thursday: Trip to the Deseret Peak Temple in Tooele, UT

This picture was taken from our car while
we were approaching the temple.
I love how it turned out and if I was a painter,
this is the angle I would paint.
The GPS actually headed us up a road still under construction, so we had to make a U-turn and come from the south of the temple rather than the east.  So, be prepared if you make a trip there in the next few months.

I love the look of the doomed steeples--this one painted a gold or copper color.

The temple is beautiful and features blues, greens, and purples in ways that are so striking and pretty.  Reminds me a bit of the Taylorsville Temple.
And we are getting better on positioning Jena on a stair for our selfie photos.

I am sure I have mentioned it before, although these temples--wherever they are found throughout the world are beautiful and stunning, that is not what draws us to them again and again.  It is the spirit of the Lord that we feel there, it is the services that we perform for our fellow brothers and sisters, and it is the recommitment to Christ each and every time we are present there and reminded of what He has done for us!  That is why we go!  Peace, joy, the great blessings of the spirit---our testimonies of Christ renewed.  It is the best, whether here in Tooele Utah, in Bentonville AR, or Hong Kong....and very soon in Syracuse, Utah!
