Temple Trips: Taylorsville Utah Temple

All my life I have loved temples! I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. When I was a little girl and too young to go inside the temple, whenever we went on a family trip that was near a temple, I persuaded my parents to take a detour so that I could touch the temple. I have a goal to attend all of the temples in the United States. So far I have been to 60 temples, including four international ones. I have so many more that I want to visit! This blog is about my visits to the temples, as well as the activities that I did in the area where I was attending the temple. The sidebar contains an alphabetical list of the temples that I have attended so far. Click on each photo to read about my experience at specific temples.

Taylorsville Utah Temple

The Taylorsville Utah Temple was my 58th temple

The Taylorsville Utah Temple is located right off of I-215 in Utah. Every time we drove along I-215 we would see the temple progressing through its stage of construction. There is only one side of the temple that I could get far enough away from the temple to fit the entire temple in my photos - there are busy streets all around it. The inside of the temple is exquisite.

My favorite thing about this temple is a beautiful painting I saw in the women's dressing room. I asked a worker who the painting was and she said she didn't know, but agreed with me that it is beautiful. It is of a young lady and her mother, and both are beautiful. I had never seen the painting before. There is a lot of beautiful artwork in this temple, some that I'd seen in other temples and some that I hadn't. This temple reminded me a lot of the Oquirrh Mountain Temple.
