We have a temple!

In the past, we've had to drive at least 2 hours to get to the temple. Now, I'm not complaining about that. I realize that MANY people live much farther than that from a temple. Our temple district has actually been the Logan Temple...a good 2 hours from Burley. We also have the Boise, Idaho Falls, Rexburg, and Ogden Temples within a 2 1/2 hour drive radius! Lucky, I know, but guess what!? We now have the Twin Falls Temple 35 minutes away! Yippee!

Well, the great news...ANYONE can go inside the temple right now. Anyone! The public Open House just started and continues until August 16. Then we'll have the huge Youth Celebration with 14 stakes of youth and the Dedication on the 23rd and 24th of August. So exciting! Briana has been practicing with our Stake and is dancing in the Youth Celebration! President Monson will be there! So much excitement going on around here! So, if any of you are in the area during the next month, take some time to go to the Twin Falls Temple Open House (and then I'll feed you lunch or something!).

Oh, and lucky me, I will be "hosting" in the hosting center following the Open House tours on July 22nd so come and see the temple, see me, and have a cookie!

The girls and I went to Twin Falls last week to go school clothes shopping and we stopped by the temple to take a few quick pictures. We're so excited for a temple!
