Manti Temple Open House

Tony and I were able to get tickets to the Manti Temple Open House for the Monday of Spring break.  We invited Lloyd and Margie to come with us and they kindly accepted.

We got there as early as we could because we heard that it had been a very busy open house and people were having to wait for hours to get in.   

When we got there, there was a long line, but it was for people who didn't have a reservation.  So, we got to go all the way to the top of the temple and wait in the reservation line.  We had to wait about a half an hour before we got into the temple.  But even our line had more than doubled by the time we got to the front.  It was very popular.  

This temple was so pretty.  It was great to see all the antique things inside the temple and all the murals on the walls.  They didn't change anything in the temple, just preserved the art and the antiques.  I had only ever been to a sealing in this temple twenty years ago, so it was way cool to see more.  The biggest surprise was the Assembly Hall in this temple.  That room was so big and cool to see in person.  A room you would only really see during an open house, so it was super neat.  The kids really liked this temple too.

After we went through, we drove to Spanish Fork and had lunch at Two Jacks Pizza.  It was super yummy and such a great way to complete our little day trip.  We have all been loving going to these temple open houses and we are super blessed that we have the opportunity to go to so many of them!
