She has a closet with more square footage than her children's bedrooms!<br> <br> The Meridian Idaho Temple open house comes to a close, and the Sisters have some great insights into the process of giving tours, including when guides are to speak (or not), the ol' walk and talk, throwup in the celestial room, ruined oil paintings, and the way the public generally trashes a temple during an open house.<br> <br> In news, Newsweek <a href="http://www.newsweek.com/elizabeth-smart-mormon-religion-sex-abuse-704470" target="_blank" rel="noopener">totally blows</a> a headline about Elizabeth Smart's efforts to improve Mormons' views on sex, staying she is "wary of religion" when in reality, she is wary of people using religion as an excuse for poor behavior. Totally different things!
