"Temple Envy"


Friday night while we were in San Antonio, we all went to the temple. Bob's twin, Dick, also came with us. Our neighbors, the Hopkinsons, who lived in San Antonio for several years, told us we HAD to go to the San Antonio temple---that it was one of the five "destination" temples in the world. (We figured that Salt Lake and Nauvoo must be two of the five with San Antonio being the third---but the other two???) Suzy Hopkinson told us we would have "Temple Envy" after seeing this temple. Anyway, we brought some family names for Josh to do baptisms and the rest of us did sealings. The temple inside is GORGEOUS!!!! There are many beautiful full length stained glass windows of different trees from the Garden of Eden. The most prominent being the "Tree of Life". The front doors to the temple are just such windows and the celestial room has three walls totally in stained glass. It really is amazing! Our Provo temple, which I dearly love, is nothing like this!
