Temple Square

Nicole's niece is being blessed tomorrow, so we drove down to Provo for the event. We decided to stop by Temple Square on the way, since Phillip had never seen the Conference Center.

We toured the building, with its magnificent organ . . .

. . . and inspiring artwork . . .

. . . then we went for a walk around Temple Square.

I loved the Salt Lake Temple display in the South Visitor Center. Part of the scale model is cut away, and you can see what the inside looks like, right down to the paintings on the walls. I've been in some of the lower rooms, but I've never seen the upper ones before. You can even see the small room where the First Presidency and Twelve Apostles meet every week or so. I'd love to be a fly on the wall in those meetings. :)

Our last stop was at the Christus statue. I've included the picture of Nicole and Jackson because in all the pictures of our family, we and our kids are facing the camera. Nicole has her son turned toward the Savior, so she can tell him the whole reason Temple Square, the Church, and life itself matters. If you keep your focus on the Savior, you'll never go wrong.
