The Gilbert Temple - A Work in Progress

We are very excited that our church is building another temple in the Phoenix area! And even more excited that it will be in in Gilbert... where our new home is located.

Granted, the Mesa Temple is still closer, but we feel so blessed to soon have two within close proximity!

Here is a picture of what it will look like when completed (anticipated in 2013).


We decided to venture out to the temple grounds last Sunday to see the progress in building. Emma was VERY excited to see it. It is starting to look like a temple!

Here are a few pictures of our family with the temple-in-progress.





We love to see the temple.
We're going there someday.
To feel the Holy Spirit.
To listen and obey.

You should have come by and said Hi, we do live just down the road a few blocks! Denali says it is Heavenly Father's present that is being built for Him every time we drive by it. Every time we drive past something else big that is being built, she says, "there's the temple!" You'd think she would recognize it by now, but whatever!

It's a little prettier than Mesa. :} And hopefully in a better neighborhood!
