9/20/2010 Temple Visit

For Family Home Evening(time you take once a week to spend with family) this week, we decided to head down to St. George and show Kaylee and Daemeon the St. George temple. We have been talking about what temples are and the importance of them the past couple weeks, so Joey and I figured this would be a good trip.
We went into the visitors center and were able to show some videos that talked even more about temples, the importance of them, prophets, and there were pictures of different rooms inside the temple that the kids could look at.

The sun is glaring, but can you tell how beautiful this temple is? Joey and I were sealed and married in this temple, so it is very near and dear to our hearts.

Inside the visitors center, we were able to look at this beautiful statue of Jesus Christ. I think this is called, "the christus." Seeing this picture and the statue looking down and over reminds me that Jesus Christ is here for us and died for us so that we may have the opportunity to one day return to him. He will help us through the rough and tough times.

Another beautiful picture of the temple. Joey, Kaylee, and Daemeon are in the corner of the picture on the bottom of the stairs.
