Temple

Yesterday, we took the family to the temple.  The Boise temple has been under reconstruction for the last year and a half and is now open for tours.  It was so much fun to take Maycee!  She is getting a large personality, which makes for a lot of entertainment.  However, I really think that she can feel and kind of understand the importance of what we did.

We started our rendezvous with the temple at around 6pm.  There were a TON of people.  We sat through a short video that talked about temples.  Maycee was shouting out her knowledge of church while watching.  Anyone who was old, with a suit, and a smile was "Present Monson!"  And all of the big white buildings were "Tempul!"  The last one that was said the most was "MOM!  Is JESUS!!"  Those were also a lot of words that were said throughout the tour.

While we were all sitting in the chapel filled to the brink, the bench made a squeaky noise.  Maycee immediately looked at Daddy and said, "Daddy poop?"

...thank you Maycee...

After the tour we were sent to the gym in the church next door.  There were a few missionaries wandering, answering questions.  An Asian sister missionary walked up to us and began to talk to Maycee.  Maycee clung to my leg and whispered, "Mulan!"  The sister missionary didn't understand her and said, "I'm from Taiwan!"  Maycee continued to whisper "Mulan" as we hushed her, laughed, and walked out the door.

It felt so good to be back in the Boise Temple.  I am so excited to have a temple close again.  We have missed it.
