Ogden Temple

 The Ogden temple had an open house this month and last minute I decided to take my kids through.  We showed up Monday morning for standby tickets and there were thousands of people there.  The line for people that have tickets was super long and those without tickets was even longer.  We waited and waited.  I was not prepared for the wait with water or snacks.  The kids were so great and didn't whine.  I kept asking them if we wanted to bail because the wait would be nearly 2 hours.  Eliza kept saying no, she wanted to see the temple.  SO we waited it out, and we were so blessed because there was a group of college kids had more tickets then people so they asked us to come with them with tickets and that saved us an hour wait.  We enjoyed the temple and it was beautiful, but the kids thought there was a lot of halls, which there are.  I am glad they had this experience and know what a temple looks like on the inside.

I bore my testimony that this is where we can be sealed for eternity with our family.  Heaven won't be heaven if we don't have our family with us.  What a special day with my special little ones.
