Arizona Mesa Mission Visit

We decided to take a few days and go back to Sidney's Mission. They will be remodeling the temple and the grounds so we wanted to have to opportunity to go to the temple, see the Easter Pageant, and visit the areas Sidney served in. Sidney's Spring Break was a perfect time. 

The first day we visited the temple grounds and the visitors center.








Such a beautiful temple and grounds!


My parents got married in the Mesa Temple 50+ years ago and we wanted to recreate a picture that they took. Final result at the end of the post.

Orange trees are everywhere including on the temple grounds. Casey had to pick some!

We walked around downtown Mesa





That night we went and saw the pagent in English.




The next day we went on a hike!


I had to hug a cactus!


After the hike we went to see the Phoenix Temple.




We stayed with Yvonne (my cousin) and her family and we saw the pageant together on Saturday night.

On Sunday we went to a Spanish branch where Sidney served. On our way back we stopped by the Gilbert Temple. 

Gracie had fun playing with her second cousins. We had a good dinner with them on Sunday!

This is the recreation. The temple has been remodeled since but I thought it was still cool!
