what some of the rooms looked like and their purpose. We then loaded onto a bus that took us up to the temple. We got off and walked into the temple. What a feeling of warmth and love when you entered His house. We first saw the baptismal font. Which was amazing. We traveled then into the dressing rooms, brides dressing room and then into the ordinance rooms. They had beautiful hand painted walls in the ordinance rooms. Then to the best part was the Celestial room. Words can not describe the beauty that captures the feeling in this room. The chandeliar alone was breath taking. The way that the light shines off of the chandeliar sparkled like little diamonds of all colors. The windows that lined the room, the wood work, the furniture. It was all so amazing and peaceful. Our last stop was in the sealing room which always brings good thoughts to me. But this room was just as beautiful as the celestial room. All the kids were looking in the mirrors. They thought that was the best part of the temple. After our tour we walked out and we found ourselves in a church gym. But it did not look like a gym it was decorated with pictures of Christ and all the temples and a map to show you where they all were. Plus they even had refreshments. We loaded back on the bus and headed home. I was glad to have been able to go. I was also glad that Shawnee was able to walk through and see a beautiful piece of work that our Heavenly Father has created for us to enjoy and get His work done. We are so grateful to have so many beautiful pieces of Heaven right here so close. You can still get tickets to go through if you would like. Go to lds.org and click on Draper temple and get your tickets. The open house runs through March 15th and the best part is it is for all ages. It is not very often we get to have a wonderful chance to go and take our family through and feel of our Saviors love as we walk the halls that He will.

Draper temple open house
Tuesday night February 3rd. The young men and young women went to the temple open house for our combined activity. Now that I am in the young women's I choose to drive. We had about 75 people total in our group that ended up going that is including the adults. We got to the parking lot that we were assigned to and parked. We went inside to see a short movie about the temple and what some of the rooms looked like and their purpose. We then loaded onto a bus that took us up to the temple. We got off and walked into the temple. What a feeling of warmth and love when you entered His house. We first saw the baptismal font. Which was amazing.
