| Scott outside the Temple |
On Wednesday we were able to attend the open house of the Montreal Canada Temple. It was a beautiful temple and everyone working as ushers and guides were so wonderful and kind. The temple was originally opened in 2000 but closed recently for renovation. According to Sister Tinker they had a serious problem with mold in the walls and had to completely remove the inside walls and start again. Inside the temple they pointed out several things that were unique to the temple. In recognizing the settlers to Canada they have used the special items in their design to represent the four original countries that settled in the area. The rose for England, the Shamrock for Ireland, the Fleur-de-lis for France, and another flower for Scotland (sorry, I can't remember what it was!). And of course the maple leaf which makes them all Canadians! We loved the experience and were so glad we heard about it in time to visit it before the weather becomes less agreeable to travel!

The temple is made of granite from Alberta and they
carved maple leaves in the granite to represent Canada |

We started the tour in the church where we saw a
video about why temples are important in God's plan |
