Reno Nevada Temple

The Reno Temple was absolutely beautiful.  I love its location nestled in the mountains on the west side of Reno.  This first picture is a view as you are driving to the temple.  As you ascend the hill toward the temple you get a beautiful view with the mountains in the background.

This is one of the super small temples.  I really enjoy going to the smaller temples because the culture is so different.  I always end up visiting with the locals as we wait for a temple worker to be available.  Robyn and I were selected as the witness couple, simply because I talked to the man in charge in the dressing room.  He asked if my wife would mind, and I assured him we've done it before.

Afterward, the officiator from our session asked what ward we were in.  When I told him we were from Utah, he was very surprised.  Then when I told him we had been to all of the temples in both Utah and Nevada he just wanted to know what state was next.  "California?" is what I told him.  I wasn't really sure.

This temple is very beautiful, and I absolutely loved it.  We were there around sunset which made for some really pretty pictures at first, but then it started getting just a little too dark.

The back of the temple (or at least the opposite of where the entrance is, since this is the side Moroni faces.)

The front of the temple.

Just me and the temple sign.  My suit is getting a little big.

The sunset almost made the temple glow, but it was a little dark where we were standing.
