Visit to the Fort Lauderdale Temple

This week seemed to move by pretty quickly. It was probably the anticipation of seeing the Fort Lauderdale Temple. We are still shooting for our baptism May 10th and we are going to be able to participate in the dedication of the temple on May 4th! Pretty excited for that.


The week seems like a blur really. We did our standard missionary work and tried to prepare for our upcoming baptism. The temple trip was excellent. We rode a bus for about four hours to get there and mostly I slept, but I did read the whole book of Ether. We arrived and went on the tour right away; there were a few other missionaries that had managed to come from our mission as well.


The temple is a little more the color of sand, if you couldn't tell from the pictures. Everything inside is typical of the Florida landscape. The textured rugs and all the plant life all over the temple was something special. The celestial room was huge! The ceiling was so high and the chandelier was the biggest I've ever seen in a temple before.


Thanks so much for the Easter package and the tie, I've already received several compliments on it. My shoes are very comfortable, by the way. Hopefully they'll last.
