Mt. Timpanogos

(folder 2, picture 2)

A few summers ago, on a visit to Utah,

I woke up early and drove myself to the temple,

to meet 2 mission companions,

this is my mom's temple district,

altho, there is a temple in every direction from her house,

......it's hard to choose!

There is something about Utah mornings,

they are beautiful and crisp and they smell so good,

so, I parked my car and walked up the sidewalk,

(just typing this makes me cry, because looking at the picture, I can still smell and feel it)

so, it is so breathtakingly beautiful that I am snapping pictures as I am walking because I want to remember how it looks and feels forever,

the grounds are amazing as always, the morning sun is rising over the moutains

and it's just about more than I can take in!

there is a family waiting for their bride and groom to come out,

and at that moment my heart swells and my testimony is strengthened,

I love how you can feel the spirit outside of the temple as well as within.

I also love that a few days later, we gathered as a family at this temple

and did temple work for my dear old big brother...

I sure do love temples,

I love the pure simpleness of sweetness that calms your soul,

and talks to your spirit.

.

I need to go again soon!

I love you Mt. Timpanogos Temple!
