T.O. Temple

The temple is a place where many, even Mormons, are restricted from entering. The one exception is when a new temple is first erected. I was able to go to what is called the Toronto temple, even though it's in Brampton, right before it opened in 1990.

When I heard how much it cost to make it I was in awe, but also questioned how that money could have been better used. The interior, with its intriciate designs, reminded me of other faiths churches. I was unaware at the time of how these criticisms aren't cabalistic (unlike church)

Even though I was a young primary aged child, I had a sense this would be my one and only time inside a temple. That was the one truth I felt that day.
