New Temple for Gilbert


The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints President Thomas S. Monson has announced two new temples to be built in Arizona. One will be right here in our little town of Gilbert!! The other to be built close to the Thatcher-Safford areas. This is an artist's rendering of the Gilbert Temple. I suspect that we will be assigned to the Gilbert Temple. We will end up living between the Mesa Temple and the new Gilbert Temple.

Hi guys,

I really didn't mean to start rumors, but I think you may have gotten that image from someone that saw my blog post:

It is the Panama City Temple, and I just used that image to illustrate that the Panama City Temple is typical of many of the most modern temple designs, and that it's possible that the Gilbert Temple may look similar, but we all know that each temple is unique. I've even heard people saying that it may follow the design of the San Diego Temple, but I find that one kinda hard to believe.

San Francisco Trip - 2007

During our trip last summer to San Francisco and eventually to San Diego, we took a day ride around the Castro Valley area to a scenic area known as Mount Diablo State Park. I distracted Barbara as we were maneuvering the switch back roads on our way down from the peak. Barbara endured a slow speed accident resulting in a few broken ribs, a broken clavical, and a punctured lung. She spent 10 glorious days in the John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek. She has survived to ride again. She got back in the saddle and has ridden to school already this year.
