Welcome to the butterfly garden. Please move slowly, pay attention, and do not touch the butterflies.

Later …

How was the butterfly garden?

It was quiet and peaceful. I was kind of stressed at school today, but being in the garden made me feel better.

That’s how I feel when I go to the temple. I leave all my worries behind. I feel God’s love there.

I can’t wait until I’m old enough to go inside the temple. Can we visit the temple grounds together?

Of course!
