Such a wonderful blessing to have this temple be SO close to us. Right now we travel 2 hours to Bellevue when we attend the temple. To have a temple 20 minutes (minus the border wait) from our house is simply amazing. Before a temple is dedicated, there is a public open house. The open house started on Friday and continues until April 24th. Both Rob and I had the pleasure of volunteering on Saturday. Rob was "traffic" and yes, he got to wear a stylish orange vest. And I helped place shoe coverings on people going inside. To answer the question, no ~ there is nothing symbolic about these shoe coverings. it's just to keep the carpets clean. And judging from the 4 hours we spent slipping these on people's shoes, there were some that REALLY needed it.


There is a reason why I'm wearing gloves and a leather jacket. It was C.O.L.D. and I was outside for 4 hours. I can't believe where I am feeling sore the next day. We all had some good exercise.

It looks a lot like the new temple in South Jordan, the one that we went to with Cassie while she was here. I bet that was a great experience to be able to volunteer during the open house :)
So exciting! We can't wait to see it!!!
That is so wonderful that there is a temple so close to you guys now! My mom, Steph and Craig went there Saturday night, did you see them?
We've been pretty blessed to have a temple really close to us. We lived in Seattle with the temple 20 minutes away, then the Rexburg temple was right up the street and in San Antonio it was only 30 minutes away. Here though, it's an hour away, which still isn't too far.
I did get to see them Traci! It was fun to give Steph a hug. So glad to see Craig too. He seemed a tad awkward letting me put on the booties. It's very different for people to be served like that. We actually had one guy refuse to let us to it. He put them on himself.
