Temple Trip!

A couple weeks ago my mom took me and my cousin Raquel on a temple trip in Utah! We did baptisms for the dead at a total of eight temples. It was such a neat experience! My favorite temple was the St. George temple because I love the history of it and how old it is, plus I had the best experience while being there.

 First stop on our road trip was at Andrea's where we spent the night before our big journey!

Then we got an early start to the St. George temple! 




After that, we drove to Manti and did the Manti temple:


so pretty!



We also happened to be there the week where they showed the Mormon Miracle Pageant at the Manti temple. If you don't know what that is its a big production they put on, on the hill of the Manti temple and its all about the Book of Mormon.



The next day we went to the Draper Temple                  




The Jordan River Temple 





The Oquirrh Mt. Temple:





The Salt Lake: 

Salt Lake was so amazing! I always love going to temple square and being able to feel the spirit and the love of christ. We got the chance to go to all the museums and church history sites. Even though i got super bad allergies from the grass here, This was my favorite next to St. George. 









we had lunch at the lion house

Then visited Brigham Young's house

Bountiful temple:


Mt. Timpanogos Temple:
Our last temple :(

Combined we did a total of 210 baptisms and individually did 105!

While on this trip we got to stay with our cousin Lisa! We stayed with them for two days and on our last day we went to Gardener's Village for some shopping and we went to this store called "Anastasia's Attic". It was the cutest store ever! It had all these antiques and fun things to look at :)
