We were lucky enough to score tickets to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open house on Friday at the temple. We got there super early so that we could get good seats and ended up sitting on the front row in the chapel. When President Monson and President Uchdorf walked past the chapel on their way to the celestial room they stopped and Pres.Monson talked to a little boy on our row about going on a mission and wiggling his ears. It was awe inspiring to be just feet away from the living prophet. He definetly carries a special spirit with him. When he left he waived at all of us and everyone eagerly waived back. It was really special. Then the dedication took place and it was amazing!!! I LOVE this temple. I am so excited to have it be so close to our house, we can be there in just minutes. I am so glad we have been here for all the building, celebrations, and now the dedication of this amazing temple.The neatest thing about being able to be there on Friday was that it was Pres. Monsons Birthday!! He is 82 I can hardly believe it! He seems so young still and I hope he has a lot more life left in him. He has always been my favorite apostle, and now prophet!!

Fun, I had told the Bishop I wanted those tickets and he told me I could have them but I guess forgot in the minute I was in the hall. Glad that a friend got to use them. Sounds amazing!
