Temple Trip with Mom

Elder Martin wanted to spend two days in Utah doing work at some of his favorite temples.  He took his mom and their first stop was the Salt Lake City Temple.  After lunch at The Cheesecake Factory at City Creek, they walked over to the temple grounds.  It was beautiful!  Tyler loved the ornate details throughout the temple and was in awe of the craftsmanship and work his pioneer forefathers had put into this beautiful building.

The next stop was the Draper, Utah temple.  It sits up on the mountain in the South end of the Salt Lake Valley.  It is so beautiful.  The greeter at the front desk had served his Mission in Paris and shared some exciting stories of his time there

 We spent the night at Justin and Julie Deroche's house in Eagle Mountain, Utah.  The following morning we went up to the BYU Campus in Provo and bought some fun things for Tyler's mission.  The next temple on our "tour" was the Brigham City, Utah temple.

 The Brigham City Temple is absolutely beautiful! 

 Our final temple to visit was the Logan, Utah Temple.  This is where Elder Martin's parents were married.  He has always loved this temple and every time we drive through Logan, he begs to please stop and walk around the temple there.  His plans are to attend Utah State University, in Logan, after his Mission.  He'll probably spend a lot more time here in the future.

This weekend will be one of my best memories of Tyler.  We spent countless hours discussing the blessings of the temple and also talked about the importance of always being worthy to attend the temple.
