The Temple was announced in 2008 conference! The same session as the announcement for the Calgary Alberta Temple! It was quite the thrill. All the family phone lines were going! It is a stunning temple. This is the open house. Toma was visiting during the open house time so she too was also able to attend with us. I need to upload pics on here from that amazing visit with Toma for the weekend. I still can't believe that dream came true of she and I spending time together from so long ago 1999. That is a long time ago when you consider the distance to Russia. I always knew we would see each other again but didn't know when.
The boys did well during the tours. I took them with another friend Gretchen on a different day too.
It is a huge blessing to have a temple in our area. So thankful. It will be dedicated on May 6th. Which is also Kya's birthday. Easy to remember for us how old this temple is from now on. There was a great attendance to the open house by members and non members of the church. I am always glad for these kind of opportunities in the community to dispel and clarify misconceptions and thoughts of the Church. So positive! I love the temple and the beauty and peace that I feel there. I am thankful for the covenants I have made and the blessing it is to return again and again. The temple is for everyone. I feel so close to my Heavenly Father there and feel of His love for me and his great love and concern for ALL past and present.
