FHE-Oquirrh Temple Open House

We had an enjoyable Family Home Evening tonight as we visited the Oquirrh Temple and then enjoyed dinner at Applebees later. We found a couple of people kind enough to snap a few pictures of us in the reception area and in front of the temple. I liked the picture of Christ behind us beckoning us to come unto Him.

Don't I have a cute family?

Isaiah's favorite part was the baptismal font. He kept saying, "Amimals. Amimals," as we passed the font. Emma noticed the chandeliers right away and pointed out how beautiful they were. Damian noticed that when you look in the mirrors in the sealing room, you can see, "forever and ever. Just like Jesus' love." I think Gehrig was anticipating coming back in just 3 1/2 years as a young man. YIKES!! And of course, the children were very excited to eat cookies afterwards!
I wonder what Damian was saying to Gehrig at that moment?
Gehrig's journal entry about the event:

Today I went to the temple and it might just be the most spiritul event in my life! I can tell you a story of true faith in the Lord.

Those of Faith by Gehrig Harris

Once one night I was adjusting my sterling silver CTR ring on my finger then it got stuck on my finger. I tried tuging and pulling. It wouldn't come off! I tried praying to God. I tugged on my finger once more and it slipped it off as easly as you slide a sewing needle through cloth! The end.

Now inside the temple my favorite room was the sealing room. It had a huge chandalier.
