Scotty and I had a chance to go to the Manhattan Temple while we were away this summer, and it was such a neat experience. We really got to experience what its like to go to the temple when its not at your convenience. Here in Utah, there's a temple 4 minutes away from our house, along with a few others only 20 minutes away. but the Manhattan temple was over an hour away and let's not forget about the additional 20 minutes to find parking, and then of course the 10 minute walk from our parking spot to the temple :) It was a lot more effort, but so cool and a real eye opener at how much we take advantage of having a temple so close to home. So we woke up at 4:15ish in the morning to be ready and in the car by 5, to then drive there through the glorious NY traffic!! and be ready to start by 6:30. Thankfully we made it!!! The Manhattan Temple is beautiful and so cool how its just part of the city.. It literally is just right on the corner connected to everything else in Manhattan. It definitely stands out amongst the city, yet it totally blends in. Can't wait to go back someday!!

Don't you so appreciate having a temple just down the street now? It would take us like an hour and a half to get to the Detroit temple and before that, the Chicago temple was the closest at a mere 4 hours away. I'm such an ingrate as I live here in Ogden and don't go as often as I could.
