Well yesterday we spent the day at the Mesa Temple visitors center and it was great. There was so many things to see and we got to watch the Joseph Smith: The Prophet of the Restoration movie and it was great. There was so much there that it would be hard to put it all down here. The missionaries that are there are great and so very helpful. I think the part my daughter liked most was they had BoM in many different languages and some of the books are bound backwards to us and start from back to front and right to left instead of left to right – it was cool to look at all of the different books. And of course the trip wouldn’t be complete with out mentioning the Christus statue -it is huge and standing in front of it is a feeling all of its own. Like I said so much to mention. We also stayed to see all of the Christmas lights – we were thinking of staying for the nightly show but by that time it was getting cold and I must admit that my feet were starting to hurt so we agreed that we would come back at a later time to watch the presentation.

Yes–you must return. The Christmas programs, though different each night, are very lovely. The lights are out of sight. Glad you enjoyed it–we’ll have more to talk about Joseph Smith. I understand we need to reschedule our appointment, and yes, you definitely need a calendar for your new life!!! Welcome to Mormonhood.

My husband served his mission in AZ ages ago and still talks about it ALL THE TIME. He really loved going to the Mesa temple and to see the Christus. He always says he can’t wait to take our family to see it as well. Thank you for sharing your family’s experience there.
