Gilbert Arizona Temple Openhouse

On January 23rd we went to the Gilbert Temple Open house. There were so many people enjoying the same thing. A lot of ushers with friendly smiles.

My daughters really liked seeing the temple. I loved the beauty of the temple inside and out. The chandeliers were stunning. I kept wanting to look at them, but they were so bright, that I had to look away.

First we sat in the chapel in the meeting house next to the temple, which became filled to the brim. A sister missionary spoke for a couple minutes about the tour, then we all watched a video. After that we got up row by row. We were about in the middle.

Everyone had to wear booties to keep the floor clean. There were youth who put them on for us and afterwards to take them off.

This temple has a ton of stairs. Or maybe it seemed that way to me. Since I have spent the last 6 weeks recovering from an abdominal hysterectomy it was not easy. As soon as we were done I had to sit down. My legs hurt, especially in the thighs. After a few minutes we got up and took some pictures.

It was a great night!
