We've been to many of the Temples in Utah throughout the years and this trip wasn't any different. This first Temple is The Manti Temple. This is Jenny and Logans Temple. It's 15 minutes from their house. It is so beautiful sitting up on the hill. It is the 3rd Temple built in Utah. It's building took 11 years. The Mormon Miracle Pageant which takes place each June, now attracts 130,000 people a year and began in 1967.
The Provo Temple took 3 1/2 years to build and was finished in 1972. Jon asked to go to the MTC which is next to the temple. Kristie and Barth probably attended this temple many times as newlyweds!
Joshua asked if we were going to Temple Square (it wasn't planned) so we quickly planned a trip there. We were last there 3 1/2 years ago when we went to General Conference. Temple Square is a most beautiful and serene place. Salt Lake was the 4th Temple in Utah to be built. It took 40 years to finish and is just so magnificient!! One could spend 2 full days at Temple Square and not take in everything. We met an elderly sister volunteer outside in the 100 degree heat willing to share Temple stories with us. One of which is that before they placed the Angel Moroni on the top capstone (look how far up it is)... people were allowed to climb up the scaffolding that led to the top, to touch it.

My parents were married in the Manti Temple so that is a special Temple to our Family too!
I have never been to the Manti Temple, but I attended the Provo one a lot while at BYU!! And I was able to go through the Salt Lake one as well. It looks like a lot of fun!!
I want to be on vacation instead of sitting here doing power point and excel!!! I have decided I DO NOT want to do this in an office!!
