Oakland Temple

On December 27th, the Twitchell family and Grandpa Luker drove to Oakland California to see the visitor center and the lights.

After 3 hours of driving (due to lots of Traffic) we arrived! We were excited to see Angela Johnson's special display of sculptures. This is one they had out that we were allowed to photograph.

Her work is so amazing! She came and told all the Sister Missionaries about each sculpture so they could share her and their testimony of each piece and of the Savior.
Sister Hui was the sister who took us for our tour. She was really cute and asked Shayla what language her name was in. Shayla said Chinese and was right. The sister asked her if she knew any Chinese and Shayla promptly did the polite bow and said hello to her in Chinese! Aren't kids tv shows great! That's where Shayla learned it from.

This is a view of the Bay Area from the Oakland Temple, Isn't it amazing!

After the tour of the sculptures, we went outside to see all the lights. The kids had fun checking out all the lights and the Nativity!
