"It was special last night when we came in on the bus. All this vegetation and trees, and then Wham! There it is. You can"t describe it." -- Reese Jensen of Brigham City

*** "It takes your breath away." -- Don Jensen of Brigham City

*** "It was incredible! When we first saw the temple we stopped the car, we were overtaken by the spectacle. It was huge and all lit up. It was beautiful. It was a neat experience for us." - Shauna Reid of Kaysville

*** "We had been to Nauvoo before when there was no temple. When you drive through town you could see the temple site. We had seen it empty. When we went back this time it was overwhelming. It is such a monument to the early Saints. Every little detail in that temple is perfect -- the rugs, the furnishings, the artwork -- it is so different than the other temples." -- Shelly Bullard of Clinton

*** "Actually I was amazed because it was so beautiful. We had been there before when it was just green grass, then the last time we went they were putting up windows. This time it was all done." -- Amanda Buckely of Kaysville

*** "It was very touching and spiritual, not just seeing the temple but being in Nauvoo. Ten of us in the family took the time to be together. I don"t know how to explain how I felt. You hear stories about those people and find that our blood relatives were there. It is just hard to explain the feelings." - Tammy Heiner of Roy

*** "We waited three hours in line to get into the temple. While in line we met people from everywhere. . . . It was a totally neat experience. The temple was awesome and beautiful." -- Sandi Stamps of Clinton
