The Vancouver Temple Open House has been on from April 7th to the 24th. The enthusiasm and spirit there was wonderful and it was such a blessing and privilege to be apart of. The final total of visits came in at 39,341. We have already heard wonderful stories of less actives and non members being touched to come and learn more. 
Dad spent a couple of days helping with the parking. Even that was a great experience. He got quite a sunburn the day he was there all day. 
Mike and Dad stopped by on their bike trip one afternoon.
I got to help with the VIP tours' refreshments for two days. It was great to work with old friends and great women.
The cultural hall was transformed into a beautiful reception area. When the main crowds came through, they took some of those tables away because they took up too much space, and because they were just serving cookies....very good cookies.

Such a neat thing to be a part of. My YW lesson on Sunday was about temple blessings and I gave them all a quote with a picture of the Vancouver temple. Then tonight for FHE I told the kids all about the Vancouver temple and showed them the Vancouver Sun article with pictures of the inside of the temple. Now I need to show them your blog. Can't wait to go there myself!!
So cool to be a part of that!
