Piano Music- Randy Allen

Little else makes a place, a moment as holy as sacred music.
My amazing Brother gave us this musical arrangement for Christmas.
We're passing on the gift to you, our followers!
May it make your home a holy place for at least 4 minutes and 5 seconds!

I Know That My Redeemer Lives

Quetzaltenango, Guatemala- Guest Build

The Legoscenta cousins do it again!

 

Finishing one of the temples on our "to build" list!

 

The best part?

 Great-Grandmafigure joining in family tradition!

In this picture, Grandmafigure and Grandpafigure are leading the way.

What 93 year old woman do you know that is willing to get down on the ground to build LEGOs with her great-grandchildren?

 We love this matriarch of our family!

Jordan River Temple

Jordan River LEGO Temple

 2013 Temple Walk
(3.5 miles into the 15 mile journey)

 Our amazing youth at the Jordan River Temple at 7:00 am Saturday Morning. 

Legolas and some friends (B, K, and Bro G) from his Deacon quorum built the LEGO model in preparation for their trek!

K was having too much fun to go home! Who doesn't like to play with water?

 

 

Just 2 hours later, They had a temple to show us!
B&K added the fountain after this photo.

A little closer.

The lucky couple is the Deacon's Counselor and his wife.



They were married there just a "few" years ago;)

 

Guest Build- Mesa Arizona Temple

Samuel Bradshaw, a BYU student from Florida built this temple and when he heard of our blog, sent us pictures.

Here are his own words:

"The Mesa Temple is my mission temple – I served my mission in the Arizona Tempe Mission (2009-2011). I used Google Maps (satellite view) and looked for some photos online to try to get the dimensions right. The hardest part of this temple is that it's so big – I had to make a lot of compromises with details to scale it down to match the number of Legos I had. I'm not completely satisfied with the scale and lack of details, windows, etc., so I'm going to try to build it again sometime!"

 

 

 

Thanks Samuel!!

St George, Utah Temple

Studette made her own version of the St George Temple

She likes to build her own temples with NO help.

 

 I had to grab my camera and capture this unusual moment:

The boys sleeping and our girl, Studette playing with LEGOs!!!

 New to us, LEGO's Bride and Groom set

Studette was very proud of her round window solution. 

This is the only help she accepted from Mrs. Minifure!!

Studette's rendition of this temple helps us think of some things we need to figure out before we try it out again as a family. 

Such as a dome for the steeple.  hmmmm

Send us your LEGO version of the St George Temple!

Bern Switzerland- Guest Build

Our Legoscenta cousins did it again!!!

They are amazing and we are impressed with the landscaping wACo did. ARCHitect constructed the steeple and the Swiss flag. The light fixtures are a favorite touch!

Grandmafigure has really gotten into the LEGO temple tradition.

Check out the last Legoscenta cousins' creation here.

Freiberg, Germany

This week's Temple was our most ambitious building project yet.  We bit off a little more than we could chew with the roof, but we like how it turned out. 

 

This Temple is also built in honor of - 

• Pres. Uchtdorf  - we always love his conference talks
• A close friend from Germany that worked with Mr. Brick
• A wonderful family we met from Germany last summer at a campground on a California beach
• Our dear Ohio neighbors whose son studies Deutsch and was intrigued by the various language copies of "Das Buch Mormon" when we visited Temple Square with them
• Lastly,for Legolas as he starts his journey to study German in High School next year!
