Sightseeing in Utah


We were in "heaven" as we walked the grounds of Temple Square. After the Visitor's Center we went over to the Tabernacle to listen to an Organ recital which was absolutely phenomenal. We took in as much as we could, stopping briefly to meet up with Karen, Travis & the kids for lunch. After lunch, we went onto the Conference Center where we went on a meaningful tour. I say meaningful, because we had a young man join our tour (it was just the four of us). We spent over an hour together talking, explaining the history and sharing our thoughts with Joe. After seeing a PBS broadcast on Mormonism, he was so intrigued, he decided to come to Utah--on vacation from Canada--and check it out. The spirit was very strong and Joe was touched. He didn't want to leave when the tour was up. He asked a passerby to take a group picture of us. It was quite special. If you've never been to Temple Square, it's so worth a trip. The history alone is remarkable.
