Last night snow was the forecast for today. Sure enough, when we got up it was snowing and by 8:30 there was two inches of snow. I talked to Jim and we decided that we would go and he would take his four wheel drive truck. They picked us up and we could hardly get on main street. The roads were pretty slippery. The freeway appeared pretty bad when we reached the north entrance to I-15. There was some discussion; should we turn around go back to Holden or should we go to Scipio and turn around. The road north from Scipio looked only wet. We drove on the Provo with a quick stop at the Deseret Book Store in Spanish Fork.
We were an hour early to the temple, but went in any way. There were volunteers all along the way to keep us going in the right directions. We put on white plastic booties over our shoes to keep the temple clean. The were four video rooms where we watch a wonderful video explaining the purposes of temples. We went on the elevator to each level. The instruction rooms were very beautiful. The celestial room was on the top level. There was a constant feeling that this was the house of the Lord.
After the tour of the temple was completed we visited the area that had a bunch of displays. There they had two large pictures of the temple and they would take pictures of us in front of it. They emailed it to us.
When we were finished with the tore, we went outside and Jim took this picture. This is Carol and I on the outside of the temple. I believe that this area will open to all after the temple is dedicated.
Carol had special feelings there because of the many times that she attended various meetings in her youth.
On the way home we ate at the La Casita Mexican Restaurant on main street. The food was very good. The owner, who was also the host was very entertaining. It took us quite awhile to be served. The place was really crowded. We then came home.
