A Temple in our own hometown...

We are so thrilled for the new Gilbert Temple to be here in our own hometown, in just two short years! Because I am a native Gilbert girl, this is especially exciting for me to see this take place! We are so anxious to watch the process of this Temple as it is being built. What a blessing for all of those who live in this great area. We are so excited!

Here is the church's website, specifically for the Gilbert Temple.

After church we met Tiff, Jason and girls at the Temple grounds to take each others picture. While we were there, some friends of ours were riding by on their bikes and saw these crazy people all dressed up in their Sunday best in the middle of a field and decided to come over to see what we were doing... I am sure we looked nuts!?

We were grateful to these friends for rescuing us from having to put the camera on the hood of my car and set the self timer so we could get a group shot of us all together.

Tiff and Jason are fortunate to soon have the view of this beautiful Temple, right from their home, behind their wall. Lucky ducks.

I am grateful for Temples, for this is where our families can become eternal and last forever! And that brings me much peace and comfort.

"Death can not sever families sealed in the Temple."
