Fall Vacation - Day 2

Because I was so tired to blog more of Day 1 I just wanted to say how much we enjoyed the St. George Temple. It reminded me of a mini Salt Lake Temple. I can't wait until the Brigham Temple is finished!!

Saturday morning after breakfast we headed out of Dodge St. George and headed to Los Angeles on a three hour tour....oh wait wrong show. It was a six hour drive. We drove straight to the Los Angeles Temple. We saw Bro and Sis Hardy from Tremonton at the Visitor Center. (They are serving a mission there.)

Before we found a hotel we decided that we should just change clothes in the Visitor's Center so we could make a session before they closed for the night. After the sister missionaries took our picture and gave us a quick little tour we hurried and were determined to attend the 2:30 session.

We barely made it. This temple is HUGE and of course gorgeous!

I saw a couple of workers using sign language before we started but thought nothing of it until the session began. It was SO COOL!! We ended up in a ASL (American Sign Language) session. Both us had one of the most spiritual experiences we have ever had. It was a regular session but also with workers using sign language. This temple is so big that we also got to change rooms throughout the session. Just fabulous, neat, wonderful. Then in part of session the patrons took part, the deaf did the work and then the "hearing" got to watch. Oh my heavenly. I just sat there and wept (without a tissue at that).

It is a great reminder that Heavenly Father loves us ALL!! UNCONDITIONAL love. He accommodates for those that are willing and ready. We are so thoroughly grateful that our timing worked out to attend this session. I think EVERYONE should attend a ASL session.

Then we had to find a hotel. We had such a struggle we ended up pulling over and saying a prayer. We ended up driving to Downey and staying the night at the Embassy Suites.

Long day but eventful!
