Mesa Temple Open House

My family and I went to the Mesa Temple Open House.  The second I walked in, I felt like I was home.  It’s been 3 1/2 years since I walked these grounds and visited this temple.  It was an amazing experience to tour this beautiful temple with my family.

I was lucky to go tour the temple another time with my sister and cousin Barbara.  She came into town for a convention and spent some time with us.  We planned a time to go through the temple.  It was fun to hear Lisa's perspective as a tour guide.  I loved hearing Barbara's viewpoint as she saw the Mesa Temple for the first time.  Loved going through the temple with Barbara and Lisa - what a great memory.

Jim and I had the opportunity to be ushers outside of the temple just outside the temple doors.  It was so rewarding to hear the different stories about how the temple grounds touched those who went through it.  A lot of visitors were in awe of the beauty of the temple.  It made me want to go back in and see the temple again after this sweet experience.  I'm so glad that I was able to usher alongside my husband.  It was a treat.

Emily had an assembly in school and thought it would be a great opportunity to take her to the open house more time before it ended.  She had free time due to the assembly.  It was an awesome experience for me and I'm so glad that I jumped at the opportunity to go again.
