Vancouver Temple

Yesterday we went up to the new temple for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Vancouver (Langley), British Columbia. It isn't open yet but the outside is complete. The angel Moroni (the gold guy at the top) was put on on March 10. The open house, which is free and open to anyone, will be April 9-24.

Kaylin LOVES temples and was so excited to see the one in Vancouver. We are going to attend the open house next month and Kaylin is looking forward to going inside. We are so happy for the people (including my parents :-)), who will have a temple closer to them.

P.S. Happy Pi Day! (3.14)

you'll always be a math teacher at heart! I love the pictures with the storm clouds. Pretty temple. We went through the Portland temple for the open house when I was about 7. I thought it was the coolest thing. Kaylin's going to LOVE it!

Only Brianne knows when pi day is :) Love it!! Great shots of the temple! So fun that you were able to go. Did you all have to have passports to cross the border or just ID and Birth Certificates???

PS...totally found your blog because I saw you were the winner on Rachelle's Writing Spot and I thought "hmm...I wonder if that's who I think it is?" And it totally was. Oh, and my math major of a husband totally celebrated pi day on Sunday, too-cupcakes and all!
