This beautiful temple in Kansas City has made a big impression on us as we have been able to participate in the events surrounding the dedication.
Mark and I were able to be tour guides on one of the days of the temple open house. It was such a neat experience to show and share with people the House of the Lord. We each guided 2 tours with groups of 10-25 people.
We were also fortunate to be able to attend the Cultural Celebration put on by over 3,000 youth of the church in the area the day before the dedication of the temple. We thoroughly enjoyed the excellent performance--the feeling throughout the whole production was just amazing. The youth did a stellar job and it was so neat to see the prophet there. I love that he loves the cultural celebrations because I do too!!! There is something special about having the youth involved in celebrating the temple and the gospel. It's just exciting!
The day after was the dedication, which was also neat. We stayed over at some friend's parent's house and attended the morning dedication session in Platte City. What a great weekend!
We now have a beautiful temple a little bit closer to us!!!
