We went on a hike in the early morning before it went from 99 to 100 degrees. This is from one of our our favorite trails at Thunderbird Park. As you reach a certain point coming down the mountain, you get a perfect view of the new temple site. It is the vacant lot right next to the stake center. If it is typical of most of the smaller temples, the parking lot will be shared.
We are so excited that we are getting a temple in Peoria. It will only be about 15 minutes from where we live. We won't even have to get on a freeway, won't have to plan 2 hours of travel time, won't have to go clear to Mesa through the traffic. This will be such a great gift for the members in our area. We will try to take pictures during the construction to document this incredible building project. Can't wait for the next step - the ground breaking.

I love having instant acess to a temple. What a great blessing for you.
How exciting to get a temple in your backyard. For all of us that travelled hours most of our lives to attend the temple, we recognize what a blessing it will be.
Glad you are back from blogger-death. I have missed your news and insights.
Oh, how lovely for your little town!
What a wonderful blessing - I am so happy for you!
