Lauren and Joe came to visit on their way to Sycamore, Illinois. We traveled an hour north to Bismarck and walked around the Temple grounds.
The Temple in Bismarck is one of the smaller models. Roger and I have been there a few times and the most we have been with in a session is 16 people. The great thing about temples, it does not matter what size they are....the same peaceful spirit is there.
The Temple is near a huge water tower, so that helps me find it everytime I travel there. It is also nextdoor to the Bismarck Stake Center Building. I love how all Temple grounds are maintained and always have such beautiful flowers.
It is a good thing they have an Angel Moroni facing east on top of the temple, because I can not yet tell East From West, or North from South. There are no mountain ranges near Bismarck like there are in Utah to orient yourself with to determine the direction. The Missouri River does not help with directions either, It takes a turn from a West to East direction onto a North to South Direction near Bismarck somewhere.
We had lunch at this quaint Restaurant "Fiesta Villa". It was once the Train Station on Main street, downtown Bismarck, North Dakota.
