The Gilbert, Arizona temple will be dedicated on March 2, 2014.  A public open house is being held prior to the temple dedication. I invited my sister-in-law and her two daughters, not church member, to join me for a tour of the temple. One of my nieces lives about a quarter mile from the temple and has been watching the temple construction. They were all very excited to attend the open house. The Gilbert Temple is the largest temple the Church has constructed in 17 years. The five-level temple is 82½ feet tall with a spire reaching 195 feet, making it the tallest building in Gilbert. The grounds, exterior and interior of the temple are beautiful and I had a feeling of great pride and happiness in being with my in-laws, answer their many questions and sharing gospel principles about Heavenly Father's great plan of happiness for his children.
