Thursday was a busy work day for Uncle Murray. I went to the quilt show
during the day. But Thursday night, we went to choir practice! Not
at Marvin Church of course, but at the Mormon Tabernacle. Mormons are
people who believe in Jesus just like we do.
These pictures are just a few ...
of at least 50 beautiful flower beds ...
at Temple Square. Temple Square is the headquarters
for the Mormons. You can tell they are behind us
when it comes to the weather. Our spring flowers have
been gone about two months and their's are just
about to die.
They have beautiful buildings ...
with very interesting things on them.
This building almost looks like the gingerbread house
in Hansel and Gretel.
This absolutely beautiful building is the temple --
kind of like our sanctuary. One big difference is
you can't go into the temple unless you are Mormon.
This is the side of the temple.
This is why we came here. To hear 300 people have choir practice!
That's a little more than we have at Marvin - don't you think?
Those gold things you see at the back of the picture are the pipes
for the organ. The music was so pretty. If I lived in Salt Lake City
I would go listen to their choir practice every Thursday night.
This is the choir director, directing the choir AND
a 75 piece orchestra. They practice every Thursday from 6:30 -
9:30. Then they practice at 7:45 on Sunday morning to get ready for their
broadcast at 9:00. They must LOVE to sing!!!
This is a picture of the temple when we came out of the
building where the choir was practicing. Isn't that beautiful?
Hopefully I'll have more tomorrow!
Love, Uncle Murray and Aunt Donde
