Fun follow up regarding the San Antonio temple. Our family is part of this temple district. We participated in a special fast that the cave would be small and able to hold up the massive building above. Both of those requests were granted by Heavenly Father. The cave was also underneath the area planned for the baptistery. In our temples, this ordinance is always performed at the lowest physical point in the building, reminding us that we spiritually progress with each successive covenant. When it came time to fill in the cave to allow the foundation to be put in, our Primary had all the children write their names on a small rock to be included in the cement. Both of my children have their names in the foundation of our beloved temple. The windows both inside and outside are beautifully symbolic. The baptistery window is a river scene, reminding us of both the baptism of Jesus Christ and the natural area around us. On the opposite side of the temple is the Celestial Room. The main window here has a portrayal of the Tree of Life, including the fountain of Living Water. There are 12 pieces of fruit in the tree, 10 of which are partially hidden by the leaves. This reminds us of the 10 tribes that we are gradually gathering in. The water motif flows from the Celestial Room through the rest of the temple out to a flowing waterfall-like fountain. As I leave the temple, the water in front always reminds me to take the temple experience with me. The wonderful part is that all the temples on the earth have something similar. All are beautiful, full of both physical and spiritual light. They are getting closer and closer to all of God’s children. We are so blessed to live in this time when the Church can do so much for us members.
