Atlanta Temple

On April 21st we headed down to Atlanta so we could go through the Atlanta Temple the next morning. The temple had been closed the last 2 years for renovations and we went down for the open house. Wanted to take the kids through and this is a great opportunity to teach them about the temple. The whole week leading up to leaving for Atlanta was very hard and it seemed like anything that could go wrong, did go wrong (murphy's law), but we didn't let it get the best of us and we pushed onward to the temple. It was such a great experience going through the rooms, Rick thought they were pretty but didn't like the booties you have to wear, Emma asked a lot of questions and she thought it was beautiful. She loved the Celestial room and the chandelier. But she wanted to know where the isle is that you go down when you get married, so that led to a conversation about how different it is when your married in the temple versus anywhere else. Emma wants to get married in the temple and is excited to be able to go through one day. This was a great learning and testimony builder experience for our family. I'm grateful for these opporunities to share the gospel with my family.
