Mike and I had the opportunity to take a guided tour of the new Draper, Utah Temple on Tuesday. Let me just say that this temple was gorgeous! The Church definitely does not spare any expense when a new temple is being built. They tried to incorporate the beauty of northern Utah into many of the temple's rooms, and the artists did an amazing job. The craftsmanship was incredible...I was sitting in one of the rooms, looking around, and it was hard to believe that one person could produce such beautiful work by hand.We had a couple general authorities that were in our group during the tour, and it was neat to hear their stories and insights. Sister Bangerter, who is the wife of Emeritus GA Elder Bangerter, shared her experiences of being the Matron of one of the temples. I really enjoyed hearing what they had to say and how you could really tell that they were so greatful for their experiences.
I would definitely recommend getting tickets for one of the temple's tours. Even though the temple has not been dedicated yet, you could feel the spirit so strongly. It was such a good experience!
