San Diego California Temple

The San Diego temple was one of the most unique temples I've seen.  The celestial room has a beautiful staircase going up to a second level.  It has large spires coming down from the ceiling that look like icicles.  The outside is absolutely beautiful, with somewhat of a fairy castle type look.  To the brides who get married here they really do get to feel like a princess in a castle.

It sits right next to the freeway, where you can see its majesty as you drive by.  It is a beautiful temple in a beautiful city.

These flowers were all over the trees on the temple grounds.

We were there with Robyn's sister Megan and her husband Graham.

Manti Utah Temple

The Manti Temple has always had a special place in my heart.  I've had several good friends who attended Snow College.  I loved to come down and visit.  I loved to do sessions here.  I love the beauty of this temple.  From the rose petal tips on the lights, to the spiral staircase that winds up each of the towers, this is a magnificent temple.  It is one of two temples in the world that does a live endowment session.

It has been several years since I have been to this temple.  Today I was able to take my wife there.  It was her first time and I loved sharing this temple with her.  It is amazing to look at this beautiful temple and realize that there was no paid labor in its construction.  It was all built as a labor of love by members of the church.  That makes its beauty even more incredible.
