St. George Vacation

Our neighbors, Jerry and Gisela Smith own a home in St. George where they spend most of their time these days.  They live close to the Red Cliff Temple that was just completed.  They invited us to come for a visit and go with them to the open house.  Gisela is not a member and Jerry has never come to church in the 30 years we've known him but they love to go to the temple open houses.  They've gone with us to the Jordan River and Saratoga Springs temple open houses.  (We are their "secret ministers}

The temple was BEAUTIFUL!  It was decorated in purples, light green, and had such fun fabrics and rugs.  It made me excited to see our Taylorsville temple.

The St. George temple was just remodeled and we missed the open house, but were able to do sealings while we were there.  They let us wander through it and take our own tour.  It was so fun!  It ws also beautiful, but totally different from the Red Cliffs/  It was the first temple dedicated in Utah and they used furniture and fabrics that were similar to those used in that time period.
