"And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it."
Just as mountains are the highest reach of the earth towards heaven, so are temples in a spiritual sense. We can get closer to God in these sacred temples than any other place. I love the peace and beauty found in temples. Alex and I try to go once a month to the temple to do special work for those who are deceased and also for our own learning. The temple is a good place to go for answers and peace. It's not a secret what we do, but it is sacred so we don't talk about all the things that go on in the temple. Here's a good link if you want to know more about what goes on inside. And here are some more: entering the temple, blessings of the temple, and inside the temple (you can see what a sealing room looks like, where marriages take place.) It's also neat to look at temples around the world. Alex and I have been to a small number of them and hope to be able to go to as many as we can. Here's the ones we've been to (Alex may have been to some others that I forgot - I know he's been to Provo, UT):
Albuquerque, NM
Ciudad Juárez México
Dallas, TX (my brother was married here)
Denver, CO (we were married here)
Hamilton, New Zealand
Houston, TX (sister Ashley was married here)
Los Angeles, CA
Melbourne, Australia
Memphis, TN
Mount Timpanogos, UT (sister Alison was married here)
Nauvoo, IL
Oklahoma City, OK
Salt Lake, UT (sealed to my parents here)
San Antonio, TX
San Diego, CA
St. George, UT (sister Audrey was married here)
St. Louis, MO
Sydney, Australia
Here's the one we added to the list just this weekend. We were able to go to the San Diego Temple - I love it! It's so beautiful. I think this may be one of my very favorites so far.

It is beautiful. You touched on some great things in this post and it was fun to see the temples you've had the opportunity to go to.
