Salt Lake Temple--check!

Today my friend Melissa and I headed up to do an endowment session at the Salt Lake temple. It was really cool being inside and seeing the endowment rooms for real--I've seen pictures before and I've seen the temple model in the visitors' center, so in some ways it seemed familiar.

But the pictures don't capture all the intricate details of the decor. The pioneers built this temple from 1853-1893 (yes, it took them forty years!!!) and they made it as beautiful as they could. Even the doorknobs have beautiful hand carvings.

I definitely want to go back again sometime!
