Notes

"The wonderful works of God are powerfully made known through temples. Each drawer of this chest represents a significant temple for our family. The Washington D.C. Temple is where my husband and I were sealed, and the Boston Massachusetts Temple is our current temple. Our children were sealed in the Newport Beach California Temple, the Sacramento California Temple, and the Mount Timpanogos Utah Temple. The Manhattan New York Temple is in the same building where my husband was baptized. Some lyrics from 'I Love to See the Temple' are written on each drawer of the chest. On the sides of the chest are quotations, song lyrics, and pictures related to temples."
