We went for a tour of the New Gilbert Temple on my birthday. It was a fun, but long drive out to Gilbert. We had all our kiddos plus Victor as well as Sara's friend Anna. We had been looking forward to seeing inside the temple and were not disappointed. It was absolutely breathtaking!
ABC 15 did a 1/2 hour special on the temple. It was great. They have photos from inside the temple and a nice article about it here. The pictures are pretty, but are far from doing it justice.
The chandeliers are incredible. It is as close to being like heaven as I can imagine. The art work throughout the temple was gorgeous. It was fun to see the murals in the baptistry especially. We know the family of the artist and were able to see some familiar faces in the paintings.

Our family, plus 3 photo bombers on the right.
The temple is a place of peace and love. It is a place where families become forever and where we can learn more about God's plan for us. It is a house of prayer and inspiration. We are so grateful to have a 2nd temple in the valley and look forward to the Phoenix temple which will open in the next year.
Here is a picture of what the Phoenix Temple will look like.
