Tuesday James and I went to the new Langley Temple. It was the first time for both of us heading over there, and we didn't know quite what to expect. Both of us have only ever been inside the Seattle Temple, and we knew that it would be very different, but we still didn't have a good idea of what it would be like.
The temple itself is very small. The plot that it's on is also very small, so the gardens aren't very big and there isn't much sight seeing to be done there, unlike the much larger temple in Seattle, Bellview, I think? Anyhoo...
We had gotten there rather early, hoping that there would be a nice place to sit outside, think, walk around. There really wasn't much to see, or do, or walk on. We toured the grounds for about 10 minutes and that completed the entirety, and at this point we were feeling a little let down in all honesty. The temple was just a baby little temple, and the grounds being newly planted were nothing to write home about (yet).
Once we were inside, our opinion immediatly changed. It is one of the most beautiful buildings that I have ever seen. The teeny tinyness is completely outweighed by the amount of detail that went into it's design. From the floors, to the ceilings, to the walls, even the door handles are designed with stunning details.
I can only say, that I am very much so looking forward to going back to OUR temple, our beatiful, amazing, little temple. And that I am so very blessed to now have one that is so close we were able to take a day trip and be home for bed time.
