It was absolutely beautiful!!! For more than an hour we had the temple grounds to ourselves, such a peaceful way to spend the afternoon. The colour of the granite blocks was an amazing coral colour that changed as the sun came out....pictures don't do it justice.
Manti is out in the middle of nowhere, and Utah weather is crazy in the spring, we left Nephi in sun, hit snow in Mt Pleasant and needed our AC in Spanish Fork....put had a great drive.
Monday we spent the day at Temple Square. It has been nearly a decade since our last visit....
The spirit and beauty there hasn't changed.
We found out after we got to Utah, that one of our favourite sister missionaries who had served in our Courtenay ward, had recently moved to SLC with her husband. I was thrilled that Kamaile was able to sing at Dad's funeral. She did such a beautiful job. Being able to spend the day at temple square with her was just plain awesome.....
The Superman would never try to push his loving wife in the reflecting pool, would he????
We then toured the Conference Center....It seats 21,000 and as we entered the auditorium I had to catch my breath, its size is AMAZING!!!
{ We woke up the next morning to find out there had been a fire directly above the pulpit, less than four hours after this picture was taken. There was major water damage right where we were standing.....so weird. Check out news report here }
Our day was the perfect way to end a difficult two weeks in Utah....Peace is possible, even in grief ... Families are forever :)
