My Effort to Visit Various Temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Throughout the World

September 20, 2017 It’s simply amazing! In 1983 I was married here. A number of years later I came back from my brother’s wedding. That was a bunch of years ago. Today I returned again. It’s simply amazing! I had a little bit of time …
September 9, 2017 It has the most amazing celestial room! A large, ascending staircase with two lofts up above make it a split-level celestial room which is the first one of these that I’ve seen. Once up by the lofts you simply walk through a …
