Montreal Temple

Hey everyone. A few weeks ago we had the opportunity to go to the Montreal Temple. If you can believe it, that is our temple district! Montreal is about 1 1/2 hours away from us. The closest US temple is Boston, which is about 3 hours away. Crazy, I know! Anyway, it was our entire families first trip to Canada. The border wasn't too bad. You have to bring (adults) a picture ID and (everyone) a passport or birth certificate. Well, as you can tell from the pictures, there are corn fields everywhere. Who knew?? The temple was wonderful, as always. It is a smaller temple and is very much like the SC Temple, so I felt right at home. I half way expected to see some familiar faces. The interesting thing was that even though the workers talked to us in English, they talked to each other in French.
The kids came with us to experience Canada and see another temple. Dustin was going to stay out with them as I was going to do baptisms with the 2 new member sisters in our ward. It was their first time and it was such a great experience sharing it with them. Very spiritual! Anyway, one of the older sister's in our ward came and realized once she got there that her recommend had expired. So, she stayed with the kids and Dustin came to help with the baptisms. All in all, it was a great experience!
