Last night we were pretty bored and wanted to get out of our nice little hotel room so we decided to drive and see the Winter Quarters Temple in Omaha. It was only a 25 minute drive which will be so much nicer than and 2 1/2 hour drive. The directions we got off of map quest took us on a partial dirt road to get to the Temple. As we were driving on the dirt road I couldn't help but think of the Pioneers that probably crossed that same road. The Temple is so beautiful. You can't tell in the pictures, but the little round windows in the front are actually stained glass windows with different pioneer scenes. They are really beautiful! The Temple is a lot smaller than most of the Temples in Utah. In the back of the Temple there is a Pioneer Cemetery. Across from the Temple is a Pioneer Museum. It was an amazing experience to be where the pioneers were. It makes me really thankful for all the things I have including a small hotel room.
