We went to the Gila Valley Temple Open House. We went to look around the new temple. First we went to see a video about the temple. Then we went inside. My cousins (Melody, Savanna, Brooke, Eden, Bill, Laurel, Emily, Christian, Bailee) were there with me plus Poppy Crandall and Grandma and Grandpa Clark. We had to wear bags over our shoes so that the temple would stay clean. The temple was very clean with big sparkly chandeliers. There were paintings on the wall. My favorite one was of when Jesus taught the people the gospel.
There were also two big mirrors that reflected on each other so it looked like they went forever and never stopped. I remember that when I was in the temple, the baptismal font was kind of upstairs and downstairs. It was on top of 12 oxen. I remember that we walked past a door full of baptism clothes. I want to do baptisms there someday. I want to be married in the temple because if I do then I can have an eternal family.
We spent the whole weekend with our cousins. I had fun with Rebecca, Emi, and Liam because we played in the treehouse together, played rockets, watched movies, played at the park, played Skip-Bo and Pictionary. I had a great time with them.
