We were able to spend today together as a family and took the opportunity to visit Temple Square. We first went to the Joseph Smith Memorial Building where they have the Legacy Theater and watched the movie that they are showing right now. It is Joseph Smith, the Prophet of the Restoration. It was amazing to watch all that he went through so that we can enjoy the blessings that come from our loving Heavenly Father.
The Joseph Smith Memorial Building is so beautiful. It used to be a hotel and then a few years ago the church went through and did a big makeover and changed it into more of a very nice reception building. It also has the theater, several dinning rooms, some different restaurants and a family history center.

This is the inside of the lobby. I love all the chandeliers. When we went today they had a wedding display in the center of the lobby where the flowers are in the picture. It was so fun to see the wedding dress and read some of the stories. We enjoyed watching the movie and it was nice to share in seeing so many people in there that were touched by the spirit. It was one of those inspiring moments.
After the movie we took the boys over to the Salt Lake Temple so we could do Baptisms. This was Taylor's first time going to the Temple and Kelton has always wanted to go to the Salt Lake Temple. It was a moment that I will always remember and one that I would never have imagined possible when I was younger. I am so happy that we were able to go as a family to do Temple work and to enjoy the blessings of the Temple that come from keeping our covenants that we have made.
