I love to the Temple {Ogden open house}

So living in the beehive state has its perks and one of those perks it the amount of Temples you can visit. Yesterday I had the amazing opportunity to visit the Ogden Temple. If you live in Utah and you have the chance to see the beautiful building then go. The beauty within it is AMAZING!!!! There is no detail left unnoticed.
When you walk in you are quickly engulfed by the spirit. The love that went into making it and the people whom you can tell are just as excited to be there is evident everywhere! Even the carpet is ornately detailed, it is carved with a Razor to match the beautiful stain glass. Like I said they did not miss a detail even the door handles are sculpted.
I feel so blessed to be given the opportunity to go and visit such a special place with my family, on one of the stairways going up is this picture.
When Princess Bee was walking towards it she leaned in close to me and said "Look mommy it looks like we are walking towards Heaven". Her sweet words serve to me as a reminder of what the Temple symbolizes to me. It is a pathway towards Heaven, it brings happiness and joy that words can't explain but when experienced instantly felt and understood.
If you are not a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and have opportunity to tour one of these Holy Temples then I urge you to go. The emotions you will feel can be overwhelming and if you have  questions there are a ton of people who are more than willing to answer pretty much anything. Its an experience you will not regret!
If you don't have the opportunity to visit an open house for a Temple here is a video that I would encourage you to watch it shows the craftsmanship and love that went into this building.






Have you been to an Temple open house? Which one and how did you feel?
