Burley Idaho Temple
I arrive in Denver around 4 pm and don’t depart for Salt Lake City until 10:40 pm! NAP TIME! Best of all, the airfare one-way from DC to Salt Lake City is only $30! The Denver airport has a Ben & Jerry’s ice cream in …

Edmonton Alberta Temple
The first thing I’ll say about the Edmonton Alberta Temple is that after visiting the Calgary and Cardston temples, this one is small! That’s OK! It’s not the size of the temple that matters, it’s the fact that the work is getting done in more …
