South Jordan, Utah

We enjoyed a trip to Utah to visit Jen (Jer's sis.) and her family. While there we were able to attend Jackson's baptism and the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House. South Jordan, UT is unique in that it is the only city in the world that has 2 temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in it. I can only imagine that they must have A LOT of faithful saints in that area to support 2 temples. It was a wonderful and beautiful experience to take our children in to the temple. There is a special feeling to be found there which is to be found in no other place on earth. Jackson's baptism was very special (I didn't get any pics because I got sick). He is such a great kid and we are very proud of him. I was well during the open house that we attended before the baptism so I have a few pics to share of that. beautiful temple grounds

I'm sorry you were sick. :( Not fun. But fun you got to go to the temple open house with your family. Such a great spiritual experience.
