Langley Temple Trip

I love to see the temple <3

It took a lot of work to get here to Langley today. Let me tell ya, getting on a packed full 3:20am Greyhound bus was not my ideal form of travel... haha. Despite the temporary discomfort, meeting my Nana and Grandpa Dave at the Langley Vancouver Temple made every bit of it worth it.
In May 2010, after years of planning, building, and then waiting, I was able to witness the dedication of this amazing house to the Lord. I was also privileged to perform in the Temple Youth Celebration for it. What an amazing experience to dance and sing our praises. British Columbia had finally been blessed with a temple!

Now over four years later I can come back and enter in.
Not only was it a great temple day, it was also the perfect timing to reconnect with a couple of old friends!
My dad and I got to give a hug to Joy, a family friend who had JUST been married in the temple that afternoon. She was absolutely stunning and looked happy beyond description. That was special.
Unknown to me, a friend who I had lost contact with back in 2011 was going through the temple for his first time before heading on his mission to Tokyo! Catching up with him and talking mission stuff was also special. :)
