Rexburg Temple

Rexburg, Idaho

On Friday the 15th we were able to go to my friend Jen's sealing. Her and her husband and their little 2 year old boy were able to be sealed together as a family. She is due to have a little girl on March 4th, and this was such an exciting night for them, filled with the spirit. I was so grateful to be able to witness them being sealed together forever. It really was such a great experience. I'd have to say that going to a sealing has got to be one of my favorite things to do in the temple. AND YES!! I did cry. :o)

    Nice picture, Melissa. How nice to have a new temple close. Which one is closer, and do you have memories which pull you to the Idaho Falls temple?

    The Rexburg on is maybe a tiny bit closer? But we're really right in between. The Idaho Falls Temple is just so familiar so that's a plus. Also I THINK (?) our stake is supposed to go to the Idaho Falls Temple.
    TO REALLY ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, I think I have more memories that would pull me to the Rexburg temple. Being able to go to the open house with my family was a really great blessing. Also being able to attend my friend's sealing was GREAT.
    We'll see I guess. :o)

    It looks like a beautiful temple. I would *love* to have the opportunity to take my young kids to a temple open house. I'll just have to keep waiting, I guess!

    How nice that you got to go to your friend's sealing, that must have been really special!
