Gilbert Arizona Temple Open House

Today Doug and I toured the Gilbert Arizona Temple.  We took Vicki McCann, Matt McCann and Sarah McCann with us.  The temple is breathtaking located on the corner of Greenfield and Pecos in Gilbert, Arizona.  Here are a few pictures of the exterior.

The decoration around the temple is the agave bloom.  

The temple is adorned with this design on the inside as well.  

It's absolutely stunning!

Families Are Forever

There is nothing more special than seeing a family sealed together.  Today we had the opportunity to go to the Gilbert Arizona Temple and see the sealing of Joseph to his parents Robert and Sarah Atkinson. The sweet spirit of the Lord was present.  It was a quiet peaceful sealing with their older children there in the temple too.  I cannot express how important the temple is to all of us that know that families can be together forever.  Without the temple ordinances and sealing power it would not be possible.  I am forever grateful to have the gospel of Jesus Christ in my life.
