Salt Lake Temple

Ever since I saw picture's of the Salt Lake Temple I really wanted to go see it in real life. Well I got to I went and took pictures of it. I loved the Temple. Here is some information about the Salt Lake Temple. Announcement: 28th July 1847, Site Dedication: 14th February 1853 by Brigham Young, Public Open House: 5th April 1893, Dedication: 6-24th April 1893 By Wilford Woodruff
Site: 10 acres, Exterior Finish: Quarts monzonite ( similar to granite) quarried from little Cottonwood Canyon 20 miles Southeast of Salt Lake City. Number Of Rooms: Four progressive- style ordinance rooms and fourteen sealing. Total Floor Area: 253,000 square feet.



Temple Locale

Positioned on Salt Lake City's center block, known as Temple Square, the spires of the Salt Lake Temple rise amid downtown high-rises and super malls. Sharing the block are the North Visitors' Center and South Visitors' Center; the Tabernacle, home of the famous Mormon Tabernacle Choir; and the Gothic-style Assembly Hall. East of the temple is the masterfully landscaped Main Street Plaza, complete with reflecting pool. Beyond the plaza is the Church's world headquarters, known as the Church Office Building, and the Joseph Smith Memorial Building—a multipurpose Church building, which has become a popular wedding event center. The Church's Conference Center, an architectural masterpiece, lies directly north of the temple. Every holiday season, Temple Square is transformed into a highly popular display of hundreds of thousands of Christmas lights. I am great-full that I was able to see the Salt Lake Temple and take pictures of it and have memory of it.

The Pain

The pain we go through
when one of us is hurt
as the days go by when
we are alone a friends
heart is always open
for a companion to be
let in.

Going to Utah :)

I woke up at 6: 40 yesterday and got ready to go to Utah to visit my cousins. Got on the road about 7: 30ish and started driving. Taeta and I got to the border and gave our passports to them to check after we got our passports we continued on our way. Ok so I have been to Utah before but I was little the last time I went. I am with Taeta this time my first time alone without my parents.

Shelby and Bailey went to their dads for his birthday and for the long weekend. They will be back sometime today. They have school tomorrow so they will be gone from when ever they go to school till they get home from school. They will do their homework and then when they have time we will spend time together. So I am going to be in Utah for 2 weeks and I will tell you everything that I will do there. Wait let me tell you something its not that exciting cause everyone passes through towns and city's now and then.

Will I passed through Montana, Helena and others to, we also passed through Salt Lake City. I will go will go with Shelby to school sometime and see what her classes are like and to see what the teachers are like. Ok so i want to go back to high school because I miss it and I miss all my friends there too. Now I need to see what I want to do next fall I will hopefully sign up for some courses.

I am going to be taking a photography course. That's right a photography course my mom signed me up for a photograhy course in October. I have a Cannon camera its actually a Cannon tsi something like that you might know what I am taking about. I got the camera from my mom and dad as a grad present I am not that good at taking pictures. I need more practice taking pictures so then one day I can be good at it.

I am going to tell you something else how about I tell you the places I have been so far. I have been to Srilanka, Egypt, Thiland, States, Paris, London England, Italy, Rome, Pompay, Capri. I loved all those places I have been and would love to go to all of the places in Europe again.

Ok I love Canada except for the winters please don't get me wrong but most of you hate the winters and some of you like the winters. I think I like the states better then Canada but I don't know I can't decide
