"I Miss Hawaii"

The youngest of the Lovell clan announced that he misses Hawaii. I asked what exactly did he miss.
He said (in order):

"The Stahelis..."

(Our kind, wonderful, fun, amazing hosts.)




"The beaches..."

"And the temple."

(This mom LOVED that he said that!)

I deem the Lovell Hawaii trip a success!

New Brigham City Temple

Yup!
We went and saw it.
There it is, a column and a crane:

It's a beaut.
This is what it will look like in two years:

"At the groundbreaking ceremony for the Brigham City Utah Temple, President Packer told the audience, “I can see in my mind’s eye a temple sitting here in about two years time. It will be gorgeous; it will be white. You will see in the design of it reflections of previous temples that have been built, particularly the Salt Lake Temple. It will be a beacon from all over the valley.”

When completed, this temple will be the 14th operating temple in Utah and will serve 40,000 members from 12 stakes in northern Utah and southeastern Idaho."

It's across from the tabernacle.

We drove through the neighborhood of older (and sometimes, run down) homes. I wondered if the property values have gone up? If the church is going to buy any of the homes for apartments? 

If I can buy the cute, red brick home with a big porch that sits directly across the road from the temple??
