Oquirrh Temple Open House

On Saturday we took Olivia to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple House. This is the new temple that we will be assigned to once it's dedicated. It was a beautiful experience!

Livy loves the temple. This past winter we took her to a different open house (Draper) and didn't think much of it. She was roughly 2 and didn't have much concept of what a temple was or how special they were. When we left, she talked about the temple (or Tempay as she calls it) for months. Even several months later she was talk about what she saw or point out temples while we are driving. It must has been a very powerful experience for her, plus I like to think the veil is thin for someone so young.

After the Draper Temple open house, I knew I wanted her to experience going through another temple. I know that she had an enjoyable time going through the Oquirrh Temple!

Here we are in front of the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. (It's a little dark, it was taken at dusk).


Livy enjoying the temple grounds, which are always beautiful!

If you are not of my faith and wonder why we build temples, here is a short video on exactly that.
