Ryan & I had a great experience going to support a temple being built in our area.
Quite a while ago, a temple was announced to be built in NW Phoenix, but it was met by some opposition by the home owners in the area.
The City Council unanimously voted to allow the temple to be built. We were of course very glad about that, but one of the greatest things about these meetings was just taking part in the process.
How grateful we are to live in this nation where each side was able to debate and be heard. The opposition to the temple was not malicious towards our church. They had some real concerns about the changes their neighborhood might see.
I loved looking around at a huge building filled to the brim with people, the majority of which had on stickers that said, "I SUPPORT THE TEMPLE."
