Avery, Ada and I spent a beautiful day at the Brigham City Temple Open House with Grandma and Grandpa and beautiful Annika. We were able to take a tour of the temple. I loved that my children were able to see what it was like inside the temple. We tell them, but it isn't the same as seeing it for themselves. They are fortunate to be able to go inside before it is dedicated. Then, they will have to wait until they can do baptisms or are endowed. This was a special day for my kids to witness such a beautiful house of the Lord. Addison is going on Wednesday with the youth and will also get to witness such a beautiful building. It is a lot smaller than the Logan Temple,but it makes up for it with it's beauty. It was beautiful with accent of "Peach Blossoms" throughout within the wood-work, carpeting, windows, etc.
It was a busy place pushing 1200 people through each hour. They estimate to show it to over 370,000 people by the time the Open House is done. My thought was, "that's a lot of cookies". They had cookies and water at the end of the tour for everyone. Most of us took two or three. So if everyone coming through for the open house does the same, that will be close to a million cookies. WOW!!!!!

Thanks for letting us go with you. You know how much we love the temples of the Lord. Temples and active participation in the sacred ordinances of the temple on a regular basis bring joy and peace that can be had in no other way. It helps us to focus on the truly important things of life.
Love you all and always,
Grandpa Bart
