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.) |

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. |
