Temple photos

We continue to have a wonderful time serving in the Tegucigalpa Temple.  The temple will be closed for maintenance beginning October 20th, and we are looking forward to a couple of weeks of traveling to see our kids and grandkids on the east coast.  In the meantime, here are a few of our favorite photos of the temple as well as photos of the city taken in front of the temple.  Click on any that you want to see enlarged.

Our favorite view of the temple, because of the landscaping (north of the temple)

 Another view, with flowers in the foreground

 Same view, in landscape rather than portrait orientation

View from south east side of temple

Guest house ("case de huéspedes), where we live

 Tegucigalpa, seen from the temple grounds.  In the back, on the far right, is the Cathedral of Suyapa, near which it was originally planned to build the temple.

Close-up of the Cathedral of Suyapa.  Right beneath it you can see our institute of religion, just to the right of which the temple was originally to have been built.  It is in a much better location where it is, and doesn't give the appearance that we are trying to compete with our Catholic friends.
