Vancouver British Columbia Temple
The Vancouver British Columbia Temple is about 140 miles north of Seattle. The possibility of going to this temple was confirmed when Payless rented me a car. That was so exciting! I drove from the Seattle Tacoma airport about 30 miles to my aunt Carma’s …
Tucson Arizona Temple
Have done five initiatory names in the Gila Valley Arizona Temple, I made a mad dash 140 miles to the Tucson Arizona Temple. My goal was to make the 7:30 session. I drove 85 miles an hour along Interstate 10 and arrived at the temple …
