Last Tuesday, January 26th me and my Young Women's group had the opportunity to walk through the Provo City Center temple open house. I was super excited not only because it's such a unique temple and walking through them is always a great experience, but I remember going here when it was a tabernacle for stake conference as a little girl. I found a quote from a Deseret News article that said, "We turned it into a blessing," said Elder Kent F. Richards, executive director of the Temple Department of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. "It's an emotional thing to be able to retain the spirit and feeling of the tabernacle. It's a literal phoenix rising from the ashes while maintaining the pioneer legacy." I love how he said it rose from the ashes. Just a beautiful statement. There's no words to fully describe how stunning it is. It is just so unique in it's own way. My favorite rooms were the celestial room and the sealing room. Without it even being dedicated, you could feel immense peace and love just standing in the middle of those rooms. If you went already, comment and tell me your experience! I'd love to hear about it. If you haven't been yet and you get the chance to...go! I'll just end with a couple pics we took... "Wherefore, stand ye in holy places, and be not moved, until the day of the Lord come; for behold, it cometh quickly, saith the Lord. Amen." -Doctrine and Covenants 87:8

Ponderize Of The Week:
"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed." - James 1:5-6 Quote Of The Week:
"Give it to God and go to sleep." - Unknown |
