Manti

We have been super excited for our friend Loren and Nikki to finally tie the knot this summer. Loren is an old mission friend of Andy's and we try to hook up with him and his sweet heart as often as we can. They celebrated the night before their sealing with a back yard reception and Andy was one of the Best Men. Another mission buddy and his wife came down from Rexburg for the wedding and it was so fun getting to catch up with them!

That next morning we got up early to make the drive down to the Manti Temple where the wedding would be. I have never been so i was super excited to get to see this majestic structure! The drive was beautiful and we enjoyed rolling through all the small towns on the way. When we rolled in the first thing we saw was the temple up on the hill and it was gorgeous! It's crazy that this temple resides in such an itty bitty city! We spent some time walking around it before it came time to get inside and get seated. The sealing was beautiful and was preformed by Loren's father who is a temple president in Orgen..... i don't remember what temple exactly:) it was a beautiful day and im so happy we were invited to take part in it. I wish we would of stuck around to do a session but it was well enough to get to walk through the halls and up the amazing spiral staircases of the temple that holds so much history of the early saints and their sacrifices to bring a bit of heaven closer to this earth.

We enjoyed our trip so much that next year we plan to attend the Manti Pageant which is held every summer! So until then here is our Manti Temple Picture.... i wish we would have taken more...
