Kansas City Temple

Yesterday Cole and I had the opportunity to help with the temple open house. We were tour hosts and led groups through the temple. A very unique and exciting opportunity! For a few weeks we have been reviewing and practicing our talking points. It was a little nerve racking at first but then just turned really exciting. Up until Friday, there were about 21,000 people who have gone on the temple tour. They are expecting around 90,000 total. We had a few hiccups and difficult questions but overall, a great experience interacting with those on our tours. 

It is pretty exciting to be part of a new temple district. The night before the dedication the youth of the temple district will participate in a cultural celebration including song and dance. The prophet and Elder Holland are scheduled to be there. I have been helping the youth with the dance portions and will get to be there that night back stage helping. I am so excited! It has been so much fun to be part of this change.

This was taken about a month ago on our way back from the airport. It was being finished on the inside.

 This was after our tour guide training.
