The faces that we get when we ask her to smile for pictures :)

Day THREE

Temple-House of the Lord

"When Jesus Christ was on the earth, the only existing temple was known as the Temple of Herod. Jesus was often found in this temple (see, for example, Luke 2:40-49; Matthew 21:10-14).

After the rejection and deaths of Jesus's Apostles, there were no temples on the earth for many centuries. When the gospel of Jesus Christ was restored in the early 1800s, the Lord again commanded His people to build temples (see D&C 88:119; see also section 95). The earliest temples of the restored Church were built in Ohio, Illinois, and eventually in Utah. 

Today, the Church has 140 operating temples around the world. Regardless of the place or time period, temples are the most sacred place on earth-a place where earth and heaven meet and where we feel close to our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ."

Today we walked around the outside of the Boise, Idaho Temple. We went out to dinner. And then before Aleah went to bed we read out of our Easter book about how temples are sacred and we can go to them to be close to Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father.
