Seattle Temple in Bellevue, WA

 We vivited the Seattle temple ten years ago for Ayden's sealing day.  The grounds has relief society sculptures and lots of roses.  The temple is large with 13 sealing rooms and 110,000 square feet.  It is in Bellevue, WA.

Seattle Temple In Bellevue, Ayden's Sealing

Visited Seattle Temple for the first time last Saturday for Ayden's sealing to her parents.  It was a special day.  Ayden was beautiful, and Miranda, my youngest daughter was her escort.  Miranda wore white and held Ayden on the alter.  It was nice.  Ty and Natalia also looked terrific, and happy.
I wanted to share a few pictures of the temple.  It is a very large temple, with many sealing rooms.  We were in number 12 and I think there were a couple more.
Outside the temple they have a short path through a garden of flowering bushes.  There are also three of the Relief Society statues.  These were created by Dennis Smith.

The Sealing Power, Church Video

This is the story of Elizabeth and Brady Powell.  Brady was killed at the Pentagon on 9-11.  Elizabeth tells their story of temple marriage.  This makes me cry.  I know the sealing power is real.  It has been restored to the Earth for our benefit.  It is an expression of eternal love.  This clip tells this story in a beautiful fashion.
When I think of Sheri's and my first son, I realize that even though we did not hold him in this life, some day we will hold him, and love him, and he will love us, because of this power, I am eternally grateful.
