Last month we were able to go to the Salt Lake Temple. With Win's Aunty, Ida Mae babysitting we headed off. We had to park over in the Conference Centre carpark and walk in the rain to the Temple. We passed a few brides who were trying to make the most of a wet, soggy day and we finally found the right entrance. I was so excited to finally be going to the main section, having only seen the baptismal section in the past. The architecture was incredible, and everywhere you looked you saw the details that had painstakingly been carved, painted or made by someone many years ago. I loved the art work and details, and we almost missed the session because I was so caught up, looking at everything, that I got lost a dozen times.
Afterwards we met up with Win's uncle, Rich who took us to lunch at the Marriott. It was great to see him again, and although the time was brief it was wonderful to be on the other side of the world and still have family passing through. He was on his way home to New Zealand after a business trip. It was only a day or so before the earthquake in New Zealand happened, and so we wondered what busy time his office must have faced when he returned.
The experience was lovely, and we can't wait to go again, but next stop is Ogden Temple. It closes for 2 years of major remoddeling next month, so it will be our last chance for awhile!
