Hamilton, New Zealand Temple

Tuesday we travelled to Hamilton and visited the temple. We had originally planned to do some baptisms, but the font was booked solid. A group from French Polynesia had travelled long distances and made many sacrifices to attend the temple in New Zealand that day. Another reminder of how convenient our practices of worship are in Utah. Another reminder to be grateful.

So we walked on the grounds, went through the visitor's center, took some pictures, and just had a lovely day at the temple feeling the spirit of the place.

Our BYU Students. Such a great group!


Apparently it is a tradition among the members of the church here in New Zealand to stop for ice cream at this particular ice cream shop on the way home from temple trips. And who are we to break tradition? Any excuse for ice cream is a good one, wouldn't you agree?
